Urns of Stone

Two springs of color, red and green, Are rushing down the mountain While blending in with the unseen. One soft and long, the other rough, They both descend with fervor, As if their speed were not enough. The firs are watching by, all mute. No birds are seen disturbing These torrents, stern and resolute. Beheld by clouds above, they rise To ever greater heights of Quiet splendor, restful in their size. Could one mould time in urns of stone To watch its stillness growing So that no creature is alone? I cannot fathom Nature’s aim Yet, in my bursts of passion, I still reach out to watch her flame.
