FORBEARANCE
When the mouth of the stream is soiled,
we all sit or stand to wait ashore.
And with our empty cans and containers,
we watch the turbid waters flow.
When the mouth of the stream is soiled,
we all stand to watch the flowing stream
as she sweeps debris mixed with red mud
till the bed of the stream meets our eyes.
When the mouth of the stream is soiled,
we can't help but stand to watch
how the sturdy stream, borne out of duty
explains time, in a healing process.

It sure can heal. I was watching a documentary on the balance of nature and the resilience of the earth and the streams to revive itself after a tough go.. excellent ink

Looking at tough situations around us at times, I remember my childhood days; when as little children we hurry down to the stream to fetch water for household use. Some days we would get to stream to find the mouth of the stream soiled and flowing dirty water. And so we would all stand and wait patiently until the water is clean again. That experience for me is like witnessing the natural healing process in all things.
