Majestic power and beauty

narcissism at its best

the river flows down

not having time to rest

 

Carving out canyons

power over all it surrounds

colorful valleys and gorges

continuous shaping abound

 

Powering towns with energy

from mighty falls

in the form of electricity

never taking it all

 

Destruction comes

when the river leaves its banks

levees powerless to stop the water

run over like a tank

 

Such power

hard to be managed

narcissistic in its beauty

can cause such damage

 

Beautiful river

observing with awe

a living entity

following nature’s law
