Song of the River

Like a graceful song, the river would wave
Happy that they found some new friends to talk
As they perched themselves up on this rock
They played a soft melody as the water started to cave

This caught me off guard as the water rose from it’s depths
It swiveled and turned to the tune of the song
I looked at them wondering if this is my wrong
They shook their head and continued to play with no ounce of regret

The song was pushed to a sudden stop as they slipped from their rock
The water crashing and splashing as it entered my lungs
A scream for help as they helped no one
My vision went blurry as all I saw was them, who shook their head and began to walk

Now I will forever regret this song of the river
