A Brook, a Stream, a River

a brook, a stream, a river
    see the current flow
  three timeless places
    where man's reflections grow...

  watch a leaf get swept along
    hear a robin sing his song
  make a wish and let it go
    ~ to the current it belongs

What a happy, peaceful place you have led us to Gershon filled with gurgling water, bird songs and leaves floating on the water. In our chaotic world, all of need to find such a place. Thank you for showing us the way. Blessings to you especially at this holy time of year for you.

I liked it! Here's a companion: a sea, a tide, a wave crashes on the beach a boy, a lad, a knave overpowers each. drawn out by the tide taken for a raucous ride feet at last back on the sand ~ appreciation for dry land
