The River & Me
Crystalline clear,
Youthful and free.
Together we play -
You and me.
We twist and turn -
You lead, I follow.
Together we play,
Swift as a swallow.
Fleeing, flying,
Tumble and turn.
Together we play
In waters that churn.
Wild winds enter and shatter the spell
Of peaceful time enjoyed - together.
Disturbing the mirror-like waters, the knell
Declares another life for the ether.
Water whipping, lashing;
Playful no more.
Happy we were,
Now we're at war.
You toss me, careless -
I'm beaten black and blue.
Happy we were,
'Till betrayed I was, by you.
