POEM:

On a winter's night

With moon shining bright,

I gaze upon a tree.

Oh, so bright, oh so bright,

What wonder will the morning bring?

The River

The river flows and flows and flows

Never stopping, never sleeping,

It flows and flows and flows

From the beginning to the end,

Telling its tale to all,

The story of life, the saga of existence,

Never pausing, never ceasing, 

It flows and flows and flows

To light, to darkness,

To dawn, to dusk,

To heaven, to hell

To all, to nothing.

Never, ever, ending.

--The Badger
