In the midst of the forest
Trees toppled
Amongst the others
Across the river
Across the path
Strewn here and there
In all directions

Walkers walk on
Over
Around
Or under
Part of their
Their journey

Life continues to
Sprout
Around
Old and rotting stumps

The river finds
Its way down
Over
Around
Or under
Rocks     boulders
Tree trunks

Streaming through
Waterfalls
Swirls, eddies
Seemingly still pools
Continuing
Its path
Of least resistance
