IBT Poetic Reflection

Bloom, Bloom, Bloom – The River’s Wisdom

The river does not resist the stone,

Nor does it rage against the bend.

It flows, it shifts, it carves its way—

Not by force, but by surrender.

 

Seasons change, the winds will turn,

Yet the mountain bows to none.

Stillness speaks, the soul will learn,

That all is one, and one is all.

 

To bloom is not to chase the sun,

Nor fear the rain when shadows come.

Each petal opens in its time,

Unfolding truth, divine and kind.

 

The path is yours, the choice is clear,

No fate is fixed, no change is near—

Until you dare, until you rise,

The bloom within must be realized.

 

Bloom, bloom, bloom—inner bloom,

Like the lotus rising from the mud.

Soft, yet strong. Yielding, yet unbreakable.

A dance of presence, a lesson in grace.

 

Bloom, bloom, bloom—inner light,

Through every season, dark or bright.

Roots grow deeper, petals unfold,

In stillness and change, the choice is YOU.  — © 2025 Joji Valli. All rights reserved.
