Four Story Poem

Four Story Poem

First, a young girl, excited, exploding with joy 
Too much love is dangerous
She worked at a fireworks factory
It blew up with all that energy along with her 
So much for too much love

Second, a river became twisted and fell
Drunk with water that made it dizzy
It was young, not familiar with meandering
But like all good rivers going down
It found its depth and did not drown

Third, there was an old lady walking around 
Always looked down as people watched her
They accused her of being sad and senile
She smiled inside her soul
Saying prayers for them as she bowed low

Fourth, fireworks aftermath fell to the river
Floated with material and young girl parts          
The old prayer lady dropped a flower in
As the river turned around the friendly bend
Growing larger, rolled on to the natural end
