River

Oh river's surging pulse
you are an art
of nature's outburst,
How you show God's wisdom
reflected in your flowing freedom
You are relentlessly streaming
while beings within you are thriving
You are worth the praise
more than any man-made sacraments
for your flow is nourishing
and your rhythm 
is far more revitalizing
than the sermon's sting

The moon above your wife
is teased by your sensual murmurs at night
And intoxicated by like the sight
of streaming liquors-
spitting ecstatic moans
every time you made love with her
inside the wilderness of the forest
in the stillness of the night.

Very enjoyable poem. Speaks of the innocence of nature and I get a sense of provision from reading this, that somehow one does not need more than a certain connection to rivers, nights, moons.
