The way to grow

The way to grow

You must dive into the river
And just go to where it goes
Do not swim against the current
Just relax within its flow
Let it take you to the ocean
Then become the deep blue sea
Never fight you must go with it
And then you will be free.

Like salt tossed in the ocean
You must melt and then you’ll be
A part of it forever
Or like a mighty tree
You must reach unto the heavens
As your roots sink in the soil
Just be with life forever
With no struggle nor no toil.

Like a rose flower with such beauty
You must seed, then bud, and flower
Then wilt and fall into the Earth
For this be natures power
To let you taste your beauty
Then become the earth again
Then that power who made this happen
Part of her you will remain.
