Betka's Break: A Tale of Spring and Sea
Down by old Betka where the river meets the tide,
A tale unfolded that nature could not hide.
The winter chill was fading, spring was on the breeze,
And Betka’s waters yearned for ocean’s open seas.

The sky was dressed in overcast, a sullen, moody hue,
But hints of blue in eastern sky said springtime's almost due.
The river strained against its banks, a beast about to roam,
The sandbar stood as jailer but could not make it home.

Then came the rush, the burst, the break — a grand explosive sight,
As Betka River broke its bonds and sprinted to the light.
The rocks were tossed like marbles in a giant’s careless play,
As river met the ocean in a dance of wild display.

So here's to Betka's daring rush to join the endless sea,
A symbol, mates, that life itself is meant to be set free.
As winter's grip begins to slip, and spring is almost nigh,
The breaking of the Betka tells the oldest tale: comply.

So raise a glass to Betka, to its break so bold and grand,
Another chapter penned upon this sunburnt, wondrous land.
For just as spring will turn to summer, under southern sky so blue,
Betka’s break reminds us all; life's never, ever through.
