Drought

The sun is shining
Birds singing morningsong
But the river is gone
An expanse of mud

Unnourished by rain
It became nothing
Essence dwindled
Water gone

What it does not receive
It cannot give
So the green plants
May turn brown

Endless flow
Endless circle
Receive and give
Once broken, all suffer
