Give me the Rhythm

Stream of life pulsates boulder to boulder 
sometimes so quiet and sometimes so loud
sound of heartbeats get older and older,
symphony of birds  in the Evening cloud.

While the Moon is resting deep in my heart
sky of my dreams roll tumultuous waves.
Hope in  thunderstorms embraces restart 
in stars and fate together, boundless craves.

Without an umbrella, I walk in rain,
as fragile leaves salsa in joyous sway  
Rippling lake mirrors oak trees in a chain  
rhythm of graveyard, memories  in array.

Only when butterflies flip-flap in tandem,
It's Pure Joy...give me the rhythm that's random.

Your opening line is just melodic, and the moon resting deep in your heart now that is just a thought for pondering. Congratulations on your win in my contest.
