Contemplation on a bench of stone
This gentle flowing river
Once roared through rock
Carving swirls in sandstone
Deepening the valley
Oh, moments of rage it has still
Angry waters rush and rise
Thunderous crashes echo
The landscape ever changing
Temperamental river now calm and satisfied
Graciously permits a rest at its bank

They really made the bench fit into the environment well. It looks like a very peaceful spot.

What a beautiful reflection!
The river’s journey from rage to calm mirrors life’s many moods—powerful yet peaceful, always evolving. Truly poetic!
