The River's Course

Thrash without mercy or conscious intent the torrent rages past consciousness streaming debris beggared by the breeze moving life’s with fullness and ease Governing the listless, the lingerers lost moving the precious along with the dross hammering the fragile soothing the source profoundly continuing an unending course.
