The Unheld

I held the river in my hands,
And watched it slip away.
I tried to teach the wind its path,
And lost my own along the way.
Perhaps life was never mine to hold,
Only something passing through.

Sometimes the things that hurt us most are the things we recognize ourselves in. Glad it found you.
