River flow

Mask after mask on an unknown face.
life is changing with not much grace.
the river is at full flow
it follows where life should go.
salt water falls and hits the ground
searching for something that doesn't want to be found.
the river runs it's course
at it's own pace using no force.
it trickles to a tiny drop
trying to go faster it doesn't want to stop.
the water has dried
the river has died.
