Animals

Upstream Journey:

Salmon leap through rivers wide,
Against the current, with the tide.
A journey brave, upstream they go,
To the place where life will grow.
Through rapids fierce and waters cold,
Their ancient story does unfold.
In every leap, a tale is spun,
Of life's cycle, never done.

Animals

River Dance:

In the crystal waters clear,
Salmon's dance brings them near.
Through the rapids, over stones,
They find their way, in ancient tones.
With silver scales that catch the light,
They shimmer in the river's might.
A dance of life, a journey's call,
Nature's rhythm, one and all.

Animals

Silver Flash:

With a flash of silver bright,
Salmon swim with all their might.
Nature's cycle, life returns,
In the river's flow, the spirit yearns.
From ocean deep to mountain stream,
They follow nature's ancient dream.
In waters clear, their story told,
Of life renewed, bold and old.

Salmon's Swim

A salmon so swift,
Loved to swim and lift.
"Watch me leap, watch me glide,
I'm the river's pride!"
The fish laughed, the bears cheered,
At the salmon's glide endeared.
With each leap, joy would grow,
In the salmon's show.

Salmon's Song

A salmon loved to hum,
In the river, it was fun.
"Hear my tune, hear my cheer,
I'm the river's song dear!"
The critters laughed, joined with glee,
At the salmon's spree.
With each note, joy would spread,
In the river's bed.

River's Journey

Amidst the streams where salmon leap, their journey long and steep,
Salmon whispers, in the river's sweep.
Currents strong in nature's flow, guiding salmon where to go,
Salmon's whispers, in the river's glow.
Spawning grounds in distant reach, where life's lessons they teach,
Salmon poems, in the river's speech.
Amidst the waters and the rocks, where salmon travel in flocks,
Salmon whispers, in the river's locks.
Each leap a tale of nature's might, in the river's flight,
Salmon poems, in the water's light.
