The Heart of a Stream
Born, far aloft on highest peak,
of glaze caressed by golden glow,
through ancient sculpted rock she seeks
fair journey forth to glens below.
Cool innocence; a virgin stream
unfurls her charm at leisured pace;
a bracken shaded lover’s dream
meanders on with gentle grace.
O’er highland slopes she carves her name
and tastes the salt of weathered stone,
warm rippled sun depicts a flame;
a yearning ne'er to drift alone.
With dreams of zest her ethos sways,
high spirits disenthrone her calm;
away from purity she strays
toward the thrill of ocean’s charm.
Exuberance invites a ride
upon his wild and briny sea,
midst turbulence and swelling tide
she yields to anonymity.
