The River Cries Poem by Lee John Siebritz

Everytime they pass me by
Everytime they say goodbye
I cry… I cry… I cry.

I flow with gentle ease
As people enjoy me
During special times

I watch them having lunch
I watch them singing songs
I watch them playing games together
As I pass them by each time

It gets lonely at nights
When its all dead still
When the sun has faded
And the moon has come out.

I’m alone
As twinkle stars take pity on me
With their glare
All I can do is stare!

I overflow when it’s winter
I’m dry when it’s summer
I’ll leave here when the tide comes in
And sweeps me away.

I’ll leave here with memories
Memories that are…
Memories that were…
You and I but now it’s goodbye.
