The raging river flows down the mountain

Like a red ribbon striking into rocks

The fish dive over the sharp shingles

While smooth stones sink into the water

 

The water washes against the ground

Like a hammock swinging side to side

The mud slips down the riverbank

While the trees dance in the wind

 

As the sun wipes across the sparkling sky

The river is a roller coaster

Relentlessly riding its path 

Crashing towards its destination

Finally, the journey’s end is here

The mouth of the ocean opens

Swallowing hungrily 

The river and ocean become one
