River In Spring

The rivers must have stories to tell of years that they have seen life go by. Rabbits that frequent the shores and ducks that quack their way through! my shoes have left imprints on the ground due to rains from night before. Scent of flowers in the morning fresh air attracts lovers from all species around!

life’s drama on shore
desire to procreate more
trees breeze scents encore
