Pain
With constant flow it winds a path
Creating gorges and bluffs with wrath
At flood stage it has a dangerous flow
But a drought can leave it running slow
Through the landscape it runs side to side
At times getting very shallow and wide
But some places are very cold and deep
Falling from the shoreline fast and steep
They have different sources at the start
But so much the same once they depart
All cutting through and changing things
The wearing down, its erosion brings
From Springs, to melting ice , or rain
Different headwaters, but same old pain
