The river is raging
beauty that can’t be tamed
emotion flowing continuously
defying to be named
What is the driving force
that causes it to rage
is it happiness or anger
difficult to gauge
Wandering down the banks
being drawn into the story
listening to the river talk
of its days of glory
Life began
calm as can be
there was beauty around
for all to see
Then came strife
trees began to fall
building but no preservation
was the common call
Not to be deterred
the river raged on
building up power
till the strife was gone
Now things are peaceful
along the river bend
continuous passion for living
until the end
