The River

How deep the fount that births a river, flowing forth a path
   that rushes headlong down the mount where thirsty souls can drink
      where waters pulse through gills of fish and quench the tongues of fauns
  it's streams refresh the weary and resurrect the dying
and spreads it's arteries to bring new life for all who want.
