The river moves
Swift and smoothly
Down the mountain
In the past
Very little water
Moved through here
Barely a creek
Hardly even that
Was here before
Then it hit
A huge storm
Filling it up
Now it flows
Rapid and unpredictable
Going mountain round
Full of rocks
Large and small
Wide and thin
When some water
Goes to clouds
More fills it
Until time ceases
My river shall
Always continue flowing
