Nature doesn’t rush
and it doesn’t run out
what is deep doesn’t need to announce itself
it stays
because it isn’t spent
there is something that keeps giving
by not pushing forward
by not trying to be seen
it nourishes without effort
moves without force
remains without holding
this is why what lasts
doesn’t shout
and what sustains
doesn’t chase
some things don’t need protection
they endure by being left alone
