Pebbles rolled in steady hum
Old leaves drifted soft and numb
Water held each tender past
Never clung nor wished it last
Memories swirled in silver rings
Carried gently lost their stings
Nothing forced to stay or drown
Flow forgave without a crown
Sometimes grief just needs to move
Not erased but made to groove
Life repeats in current’s dance
Soft release not violent stance
If the heart would flow like this
Sorrows melt to quiet bliss
Let the river hold your ache—
Let it pass for peace to wake
