My Mother Told Me (inspired by the folk song my mother told me,)

My mother told me
Some day I would find
Energetic river
Without chains of time

Paddles do not work here
No boats you will find
Jump into the river
Soon you will find

Flowing is the way
Strife refuses life
For shadows it obeys

Too many shadows too little light

There is no worry you will be just fine
Shadow cannot hold you in the rivers bow
Now the shadows show you they are ripples to
They are ripples to

My mother told me
Some day you will find
Life beyond motif
Strength of nature's love

This is no mere story for the river I have found
Just as she had shown me
By dancing with no eyes
Singing with no sound
This is breathe of life
Breathe I now live by
