I am A River – Poetry with Music

Poetry combined with music creates a deeper expression of beauty.

The metaphor of a river reflects our lives which run deep and strong.

 I am a river, deep and full

I have meandered between rock and soil

Carving out my path.

I am a river, ancient and dusky

Learning from the rivers that ran before me

And those who now run in my veins.

I am a river, frozen in winters

At  times my  ice was so deep

The fish swam very deep in order to survive.

I am a river, flowing in forests

Feeding and being fed

The land and I merge in song.

I am a river, surviving all

I have lived in laughter and sorrow

The sun and rains have fallen upon me.

I am a river, deep and full

I have meandered between rock and soil

Carving out my path.
