Country Stream

COUNTRY STREAM

Gentle flow and sky blue
With a thatch hut reflected
See a multitude of ducks
And they as good as proprietors

Oh the simple wash of it all
Lazy    carefree movement
A country pair stand down stream 
Content      apparently      to do nothing

I would not disturb
My pounding heart      though      goes where
      the stream makes its turn
Where it narrows      darkens      fades
Where it finds downhill and goes wild!

You describe a country stream well in this poem and then comes the rapid and goes wild. Feels peaceful to watch a country stream running along. Nicely done. love phyl
