Notes About The Poem
Written on September 22, 2026
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Stream
Murmuring praises, softly
A caress, burned into the stones
Blessing the glistening ripples,
Restoring faith to the downcast
Inviting the rhythms of eulogies
Honoring dreams, prayers, praise
Erasing the melancholic
Exciting the mountains, the rivers
Inspiring the stories of light
Falling over the night
Coloring the moon in haphazard glitter
Unblemished songs, melodies
Rich as the roaring waters,
Flowing over smooth stones, in rhythms
Radiating life’s laughing extremes,
Stilling the memories,
Restoring dreams of what will be
When hearts are revealed
And there is assurance of His love,
In each treasured spray of hope,
Each magnificent rhyme,
In the hills, the blessings, pouring
What is a ripple without its rhythm?
Charming the stars and the prayers,
Easing dreams from their hearts
Glowing in softest reflections
Amazing, His spirit embracing souls
Stirring the songs beneath the creek bed,
Telling each stone what it means to see
Beyond the waters, beyond the sand
Trembling with joy so lithe,
A story empty of doubt,
Drenches the heart in peace
And rains down praises to the spirit
Believing He is there, in the ripples
Affectionate caresses from a stream
Knowing the rhythms, playing gently
Entering the spirit with hope,
Gushing with faith
Rushing through the soul
Playing soft notes of praise
As the story is told
By sprays of laughing waters,
Revealing the music
Arising, roaring, troubling the heart
Without any doubt, there in the still,
Shedding dew like tears,
Creek winds its way through the night
Silencing the moon
Lending praise to each oak
Breaking through the skies
Starry eyes, prayerful
Praising this God who always knows
Even the water can’t stop singing
Breathless psalms, in each streaming note
From a heart who believes
He is here, comforting each soul who grieves
Consoling and blessing with a peace
That comes to the heart who sees
He is the ripple in every sweet stream.
