Climbing along the River


Willows never forget how it feels
 to be young. 

 Do you remember where you came from?
 Gravel remembers.

Even the upper end of the river
 believes in the ocean. 

 Exactly at midnight 
yesterday sighs away. 

 What I believe is,
 all animals have one soul. 

 Over the land they love
 they crisscross forever.

--William Stafford
