Fair-wooded friends

rivers flowing to the sky
rivers stretch and sigh
when winds pass by

flowing into dome or bowl
pouring out the buried soul

rivers frozen now release
steady paces now increase
bringing still to cease

frozen wintered weathered veins
hailing back the warmer rains

rivers slowly yawn to wake
in the soil their beds to make
and the riches do take

slowly unfurl the green in hand
to cast a shadow across the land

rivers holding nests above
cradling the young thereof
nurtured nature sort of

holding nests, young and eggs
massive arms over buried legs

rivers flowing to the sky
reach the stars so they try
though I wonder why
