Oh river that flows
the twist the turn
calling me out
I crave I yearn
Polishing stone
as you travel the land
I’ve seen the results
from my collection in hand
Your power’s unmatched
as gravity draws
collecting your sources
one of Nature’s true laws
Eventually your trail
will come to an end
from the water you’ve collected
to the sea you will send
