Keep On.....
when the river runs dry
only the stones remember
the rush of water over their backs
the currents that wore them smooth
they remember what it was like
to be immersed
surrounded
embraced
now they lie exposed
the sun beating down
trying to steal the memories
of cool darkness
but the stones resist
clinging to scraps
of algae and moss
hinting at what used to be
what could be again
they remember the fish
darting between their crevices
seeking shelter
finding home
they remember the birds
coming to drink
splashing
chirping
singing a song of praise
they remember the children
laughing
playing
tossing pebbles
skipping stones
the stones remember
even as the river forgets
even as the riverbed cracks and thirsts
the stones always remember
and they wait
longing for the day
when once more
the river runs

Let us be grateful for the memories we are able to hold on to - whatever the feeling, what a beautiful experience to know nature goes through the same pains and melancholy as we do. Through your difficult times, let this serve as a reminder that every season has its own set of trials, but seasons change and this too shall pass. Keep on keeping on for we are all just here for a short time. :)
