I see my future

I see my future
      stretching out in front of me
like a twisted turning river

           every now and then
   the waters part
                 to reveal
        a stone
   firm in the midst of the waters
              only for a little while

  sometimes I see
        the same stone
  or one slightly different
              surrounded by different
    waters

I go down the river
           sometimes walking
by the side
    at times rowing in a boat

    let me look at the waterfalls
help me survive the rapids
            whirlpools
sandbanks
        keep off the crocodiles
stay far from the hippos

each turn of the river
       fills me with a dreading
suspense
           because this river
has not been mapped yet
   I am the first explorer
         this is my river
   my future
