Andrea Vocab Sanderson - Ask the River Lyrics

I spoke the to river
I had so much to say
I talked to the river
She answered me in waves
I once asked the water
"Do you recognize me?"
My whole body, a river
Frame that flows and ripples deep within
Coursing to currents of beauty
Liquid hearth gurgling with inseparable droplets and always inviting
My entire habitat encompassing
Salted and fresh, full, and rushing with life
Never damned, or receding, and certainly never stagnant
My movement a fluid feminine rhythm trickling or hasty
Through valleys and mountains I wind
I am no pond
Yet at times, I resemble an ocean
I once asked the water
"Do you recognize me?"
I sat still
Waited for an answer
All I saw was my reflection in the fluxes of waves
