Rivers

Go ahead and tell me  

That you know all I can be 

Go ahead and tell me that you’ve studied  

Every falling droplet of my changing sea 

But weren't you ever taught  

That seas are only where it ends 

The only thing that tells the story 

Are the river's twists and bends 

The ocean isn't everything 

Rivers are a part of it, of course  

But you cannot judge the currents 

If you don’t know its source
