The River William A. Duckett

Some things about the surface, not a gleeful plain, but alive and moving, its banks feel the strain Confined in stone and manmade channels, the animal wishes to get out. Beauty above in reflection streaming, grabbing the light of Sol and seeming like soldiers of force that do without. The river twinkles, always moving, never the same to eye of man, yet forms a pattern, ever changing, go backwards when it can. What of the bottom? Its creatures stirring. What does the river see in us? Tho its tranquil, with surface gleaming, its power is waiting to get out. And if we dare to tempt the creature, we can’t stay in natural form, we must change with the light that’s fading, to a state that will conform. The River wins!
