Life's Longing for Itself

Rainforest Song

The Drift

Once, it was branch and breath of tree,
rooted deep in memory.
Storm winds whispered, “Come away,”
and broke it free one rain-soaked day.

The river caught it, soft and sure,
a wanderer with no detour.
Through silver stones and meadows wide,
the drift began its timeless ride.

It spun beneath the leaning sky,
past children’s laughter, birds that fly.
It brushed against the moss and reeds,
and learned the river’s secret creeds.

Through roaring falls and gentle bends,
its shape would change, but never end.
Leaves would cling, then drift apart,
like fleeting touches of the heart.

At dusk it dreamed in golden gleam,
at dawn it woke within a stream.
Each turn, each wave, a whispered song—
a hymn to all it drifted long.

And when the river met the sea,
it paused—a breath, eternity.
Then onward flowed, no fear, no plea,
becoming one with what would be.

For wood once bound by root and earth
found motion, meaning, second birth.
A simple drift, yet so much more—
a traveler through the river’s lore.
