the strongest of bodies
i am a river
always moving
ever changing
my waters flow
through dry lands
spawning new growth
Iin desolate places
i am a river
pushing onward
in my own direction
finding another part
of me in each new place
you may try to catch me,
block me, stop me
even capture just
a handful of me
but
you will never
be able to take
all of me
