Rush down from the hills and mountains
Maneuvering around untold hurdles
Negotiating paths of least resistance

Adorn your banks with trees in blossoms

And through it all you must remember:

Sometimes shallow, sometimes deep
Sometimes wide, sometimes narrow
No matter the terrain, a river will always

Reach for its goal to merge with its ocean

Slaughters desire,
"Touch me not" streak,
Spells disaster; 
Conspirator?

"My foot" to boot,
You are the true,
Swindler, cheater;
Malediction?

I enjoy life;
Night reveler?...
