What Moves Us
Designs for towns, these places usually move
to the sounds of the river, the constant rushing
Expansion of soil or retracting floods, prove
the diligence of generations in pasts brushing
Generations working the water and wind
People moving with the river or air
Of all the time we could possibly spend
planting roots or moving freely, neither seems fair
The elements skirting the delinquence of wild
Constant fervor in the need to depart or stay
Sky lifting across the horizons in a smile
could care less for either calamity or fray
Indifferent natures, we seek what pleases
Become part of any landscape or change with seasons
