Path and Stream

The greatest pathway bestowing great signs Those of life from the trees that’s above it Colorful leaves that’s crafted by design Sometimes I walk this path, there’s times I sit No beauty can confess that which is built There’s a stream sparkling across this pathway I step over the stream to go my way Leaves do rest on the water as it flows Pebbles alongside work the leaves to stay How this path and stream were formed, no one knows

It makes someone wish to walk along the path and across the stream breathing the beauty of your creation within!

It's amazing to me to think of where all the water comes from... when you come across one it makes you wonder HOW it can be going and going for months on end. I liked the subtleties in this, Russell... and you have a keen eye for observation (sounds like a great place to sit and read a book).

I always get something out of your poems, Russell. THey can be seeming innocent, mundane things and under your words, they come to life. Awesome!
