The Spring

Just a little spring that bubbled out from 'neath a stone She knew the rock was steadfast, she traversed away, alone She traveled 'cross the country toward a lush and awesome bay Joined with other Springs small offerings, and Rivers on her way And then in awesome wonder as she heard the seagulls call She with the mighty waters of the others, without stall Giving in to wonder at the beauty of the sea And with their many voices to the Sea, Humanity She was Just a little spring, bubbled out from 'neath a stone She's traversed 'way, but soon she'd found, she'd never be alone The stone had never chosen her, but had she chose that stone? From Heaven's secret mysteries, a mission course her own? She visited the oceans, then back to the stone as rain, Then flowed onward toward the rivers, and to the sea again! The spring left gentle marks upon that stone where she'd sprung forth Westward Ocean's waters gifted back to the far North She was very busy on a path from the depths of time Along life's gift of wonder from a Love source quite Divine

The small stream that bubbled forth from beneath a stone found her way to the ocean joining hands with other water ways. After joining the mighty ocean, she hasn't forgotten her source and she falls down once again on the rock as rain and the cycle continues. Beautiful personification, dear BJ

This vividly descriptive piece flows smoothly along like that stream. You have created a deeply meaningful analogy, BJ. Janice
