What a f!@#ing bitch it is, riding up hill, in a pouring down, soak your ass to the bone rain. Only thoughts of reaching the top, finding the hostel and pulling into a a hot shower with warm and dry clothes at the end prevail in mind.
There’s not enough time to wipe your eyes clear, [...]

The gravel has been piled up.
Readied to be taken to a place far away.
There it might become a road
or skyscraper.
Preferred though, is another bed.
Then stories of the land can be
passed to a new region.
Water has shaped the gravel
and its purpose is found.

It’s almost overwhelming,
the rush, the crush,
the defiance of the stream.
The water flows where it wants,
knocking all aside.
A mountain,
a bridge,
a boulder,
a building;
it matters not.
A flow of the stream can pull down,
carve anything.

Look up, to the right,
a little farther.
There lies the great Turton.
He fought the many hills and vales of Fuxing.
Only to be brought down by a small stream.
It’s fitting that a person of such might could be downed
by the simplest flow of life.
Turton believed;
The underdog has the most might!

Water tends to flow,
along a path of least resistance.
Even in a challange though,
it’ll build up to overwhelm or seep.
Only to flow free again.
I will be like water,
always flowing,
even unseen,
calm or torrid as need be.
