Poetry River Run Free

Quietness upon the face, Silence and loneliness, Land before time, Before living things existed, Sadness as my waters ran through the earth, Was my voice the only thing to be heard? As I swelled and ebbed, Swished back and forth, Was I alone as I sadly moved? Was my story over before it started? I ran through the earth looking for life, Through the mountains to the highest peaks, Over the desolation through the land, Congregated every teardrop into large seas My tears filled every part of the earth Sadness as my heart became an open ocean, I realized that I had great power, A gushing force as I quickly moved, I was unstoppable and determined, As my adventures of roaming became exciting, The earth began to drink of my waters, A great light shining down, Began pulling me up towards the skies, Something very dramatic happening, Breathtaking! As I hung around in great clusters of clouds, Looking down upon the earth, Beauty astounding and thrilling, Until a great crash of thunder, Crashed through splitting bursting into Millions of tiny droplets, I fell to the earth, With exhilarating freshness, Hitting the ground at great speeds, Continued flowing on my journey, Into the rivers then back home to my sea, As I looked up to the sky Great colors burst into a rainbow, Life began creating, Smaller than the eye could see, As surely then up to the tallest trees, Earth drank of my rivers As the poetry in the river ran free. 01/05/2016
