Rushing water,
through cries I plunder.
You drag me under.

Rushing water,
be still and calm.
For winter is gone.
You need no fury.

Thanks! Thats a good way to look at it... I never thought of it like that... I only thought about an actual river when I wrote it.... I was nowhere near as creative. Kudos to you! I like your version better! (:

AW! I see this as someone trying to calm their best friend down because he or she are very upset about something and you just happen to be pulled into that situation and you're trying your best to calm them down. Nice job! ^_^
