The River Life

So on the topic of river life,

What can I say that has not been said?

This reckless way is oft sought by few.

Adventurous souls eager of heart,

Who started wading her bramble shore.

Her lapping song is a sirens call.

Her scent holds captive to her domain.

Her secrets many hidden away.

 Waiting the "ah-Ahhh" each hopes to say.

Her prodigals yearn for life that way.

For life is a line like the river.

The river life is the life they love.
