River Wild

===================

She rages! Child of Rain and Stone...
  
Stone, easing not the falls she takes,
takes leave, that he might weep alone.

Alone, he grieves until she wakes.

Wakes held to mourn what Rain he'd known,
known too, will push the River so,

so, tiring of the moss he's grown,
grown wild, she'll rise and let him go....


===================
=RIVER=

Thank you, Nette. If you'll notice, I used your 'Four Lines' format. I really like it, it's really challenging and the result is always very impactful. You've got to come up with a name for it!

If I'm the river, you're the stone /==/ and though we flow here perfectly /==/ Stone sleeps in Rivers bed alone /==/ but helps her rock her poetry
