River's Song

The full moon is my lover. He whispers, cajoles, tempts me as no other. He moves me to be what I can be no less than the mighty sea would it be filled if not for me? He paints me beautiful. I ripple with laughter. I am many faces. Running Bear swam my width to get to his lover, in my midst sought oblivion. I am the cover uniting them forever. Moses' mother trusted her child to me. I nursed him in broth of innocence until he was taken from me. Wherever I run lands are lush and green. Seducer, I sing my siren song to those who will listen.
