The Darkest Ocean, The Deepest River

Every river, every ocean, every sea has its own tale to tell

The tales of the past

present and future

are all weaved in

the oceans

rivers and

seas of the world.

Every river weaves through the small towns and centres

that weave a spell

through the hearts of the villagers

the river witnesses

the births of rulers and

paupers alike

for when we are born

and when we die

we are the same no matter

what family you are born in.

The blood of our ancestors

flow into the rivers of today and yesterday.

The rivers bend and twist to the tapestry of the

earth,

leaking into the ocean that links the entire world

in an endless circle with no

end.

Each river sees the truth of the people it

reflects as every

sea sees the lies of the world

as clear as the ice that frosts on top it's turquoise

depths.
