Tizan and the River

You can trust Tizan to have experienced stuff that others never have. But then again who apart from him can have such things.

For example the other day while he went fishing in the little river near the big forest he did not get any fish. But then he had a day he is never going forget.

While walking along the river he saw a glitter in the water...and he could see it travel down the river. Then he saw another one that looked sad.

He thought: “Why is this river sad ?”

Then he was enveloped in the answer:

No my son do not think it,

Anger is not a nice thing,

But what can i do young one,

I cannot but be sad for it

My story is a long one

But what can I do,

What is my wrong,

But yet i am to blame

Blame me for i am river,

Blame me for the water,

Blame me being a spring,

And blame me for creating the delta

I started small,

all a trickle winding around,

Almost dripping along,

yet i started carving a path

Slowly with strength growing,

I started cutting into the ground,

moving the sand out of my way,

Yes you puny dirt away you move

Aha you basalt chunks,

I just need time against you,

And what can you do about it,

Sliced you will be by me.

Some benefit from me,

Some die by me,

I am water after all,

Good for its bad

I nourish the respectful,

I destroy the adventurous,

I respect the courageous,

and I fiddle with the stupid

And I forgot ....

Yes I sure forgot that I

am not I but just appear to be me,

For now what came just seemed so,

For water is reducing,

And i cannot even prevent grass,

where i used to be torrent,

What am i getting to be

Yes son....i am angry

and i am sad for

I now realize that I

never was but nothing and a moment

Obviously Tizan forgot about fishing totally and went back home and when his mother asked him about the catch they were expecting for dinner he said something very strange: “What's fish got to do with it ?”
