To Sea, Eventually

when a large
BOULDER
falls in a
river and
blocks
it
the
water
stops.

it
seems
hopeless
waiting
nothing

but
then
drip
by drip
drop
by drop
the BOULDER
slips
and
slowly
slowly
the water
trickles past
until the stream
is freed, and the river
flows strong once again

if the BOULDER
never
budges,
it doesn’t
matter

the
water
will pile
up, build up;
pond becomes
lake, lake overflows
until a new path is found,
water flows again, and the river
finds its way in the end to sea

I guarantee
