like the flowing river

be like the flowing river.
silent in the night.
be not afraid of the dark.
if there are stars in the sky,
reflect them back.
if there are clouds in the sky,
remember, clouds, like the river, are water.
so, gladly reflect them too,
in your own tranquil depths.

I : I hate this animal! Why should it be alive?!
II: And so do they. They might say: "I hate humans! They make us lose our home! Why should such a creature alive!"
