My officer coach said: Don’t think,
just speak,
Don't recite what’s on the paper,
just talk,
Inspire, motivate, and tell your
story.
Water rushing over rocks, the words
flow
Down and out. The path of least
resistance,
Choosing the easier words to
pronounce.
Not to stumble and not to drown in
words.
Coach said: the river is calm, make
it fast.
Currents strong enough to cut
diamonds,
Faster, farther and farther and
faster
Shaping the land, making its bed for
years
It will never sleep, job never
complete
Running until it will run out of
room.
Infinite number of turns, repeating
Telling and executing its story.
Coach said: It needs life, make it
have purpose.
Rocks damming the leisurely flowing
stream
It’s not a river if it doesn't flow,
Flowing with a purpose, providing
hope
To who is ever in need. Giving life
And meaning to those unexpectedly.
Flowing after the scorching summer
drought
Coach asked: how does it handle
obstacles?
Pebbles tossed aside with little
effort.
With force and power, we over turn
rocks.
Bricks and buildings slow, timely
destruction.
Nor can a mountain resist its
message.
Don't think, be a river that flows
freely.
Have purpose and inspire with your
message,
Make a path to flow with and for
others.
