The Rivers Song:
The rushing River is fierce and strong.
Nothing can stand in its way,
And only a fool tries to change the Rivers course.
If you're not careful you'll get swept away in its angry currents.
You can try to follow it to its destination,
The River knows where its going.
But beware,
Its path has many twists and turns,
And you may find yourself more lost than when you started.
The River may be swift and dangerous,
But if you listen closely you can hear a hidden Melody,
Buried deep in the tumbling cacophony of the chaotic, turbulent water.
For the River has many secrets,
But you'll only be able to hear tiny snatches of its Song at a time.
It never stays in one place for very long,
But when it crosses your path it could mean the difference between life and death.
You'll always be grateful for the strange strength it gives you when you sip from it,
But sometimes you wish it would slow down for a minute,
And go back to being the calm, reliable Pond it began as,
Long before the Riverbed carved its way into your life and hearts...
A/N: Hope you like this poem, I was thinking about how all the women The Doctor falls in love with (Grace, Rose, Melody Pond/River Song) have names that double as words/things (grace, rose, melody, pond, river, song) and I got inspired. it doesn't rhyme, but not all poems have to rhyme. I thought it would be neat if I capitalized the words that double as names, make it artistic or something. I guess this is kinda from The Doctors POV...its all one poem btw, but when I tried to put spaces between the verses, the stupid site wouldn't save it and crammed it all together. so I decided to compromise and use line-breaks as my spaces between verses/paragraphs. also, I've written a number of (much more light-hearted) limericks in my collection of poems 'There Once was An Old Man From Gallifrey' if anyone is interested...
Please review and tell me what you think! I might write some more poems more or less like this to add to this story if I feel inspired, but I think its complete for now...
