Great poem! Loved the imagery of both the river and the ocean, the comparisons between them and tying in the wild/natural quality of both with an anthropomorphic slant that ties both in to us humans and the ways we 'flow' back to our emotional/spiritual 'origins' there at the end. I used to love to write, but I could never do poetry, sigh; I envy those like you who can create such wonderful word craft.
