Once a living river...

There was once a river filled with marvelous life, there was once a river filled with fish salmon and green. That river grew to a great marvelous current, carrying illusions, dreams and thoughts. That life it carried was filled with many verses, seeing what course it would take, seeing to what route it would grew into. Nonetheless, at some point in time, the river became dark and contaminated; the reason is certainly unknown… but it died, and everything in it. It stopped its course, its flow, and dried out. It dried out into dry and dark minerals that would never host life again. It evaporated, and was forgotten… and all the verses died with it...


 

Did that river even exist?
