A River

A river

Originating from snowflakes, rain and vast sky

Originating from bloods, tears and vast dreams

A river

Rushing through plateau, canyon and crowds

Singing reproduction, extinction and history

A river

Irrigating the land, the crops and the prosperity

Washing ignorance, foolishness and madness away

This river

Drought never make the flowing for thousands of years die 

Flood never drown the breaths of thousands of miles

This river

Sweep away the debris and lives blocking the river 

Weed out the event and words polluting the river 

I'm wandering and reciting poetry on Earth to seek this river

I'm writing time with words to prove this river

I'm flying into nothingness in dreams, showing this river
