Rivers are stream, flowing bright,
Oceans sea, a vast sight.

The other roars, in every place.

Oceans tide, drawing near.

The other surges, every part.

Rivers flow, a lively view,
Oceans depth, coming through.
One journeys with an open hand,
The other holds, across the land.

Oceans are vast, a horizon so vast.
One journeys with a ceaseless might,
The other rests, day and night.

Current and Wave:
Rivers are currents, ever moving,
Oceans are waves, rhythm soothing.
One carves paths through land so grand,
The other cradles, sand.
Comparisons
Waters Deep:
Rivers, where currents gently glide,
Oceans, where tides sway wide.
Rivers, in whispers flow serene,
Oceans, where depths hold unseen.
Comparisons
Both together, life's flow abide,
In their embrace, dreams collide.
Rivers and oceans, waters vast,
Earth's veins, present and past.
