I am a riverIn the midst of the fog in the morning A flowing river glimmers down to the sea; That is what I am.I am a river
I am the river Fast and vicious Calm and gentle Nurturing the earth around it.

He turns abruptly and looks at me, really As if for the first time. A small smile graces his lips Making my heart beat, alive.
