Path of a Burn

A Dribble a Trickle a Dram a Splash Flowing Down a Brae Past the Steading Rushing Over Rocks Creating Crag and Tails Waves Wash and Bleather on the Bank Water Shimmers and Shines in the Sunlight so Braw Dinnlin the Earth and Trees as it Flows Over Moor and Though Glen Toward Linn and Loch Eventually Passing a Stone-Thrust and Becoming the Sea This is the Path of a Burn.

There's a wonderful flow here, as we might expect! Nice assonance and alliteration propelling your 'burn' to its final destination. Well done, Dave! Best wishes, Keith
