The Spring

Just a little spring that bubbled out from 'neath a stone

          She knew the rock was steadfast, she traversed away, alone

             She traveled 'cross the country toward a lush and awesome bay

           Joined with other Springs small offerings, and Rivers on her way

             And then in awesome wonder as she heard the seagulls call

                She with the mighty waters of the others, without stall

                     Giving in to wonder at the beauty of the sea  

                 And with their many voices to the Sea, Humanity     

             She was Just a little spring, bubbled out from 'neath a stone

          She's traversed 'way, but soon she'd found, she'd never be alone

          The stone had never chosen her, but had she chose that stone?

            From Heaven's secret mysteries, a mission course her own?

             She visited the oceans, then back to the stone as rain, 

          Then flowed onward toward the rivers, and to the sea again!

  The spring left gentle marks upon that stone where she'd sprung forth
       
              Westward Ocean's waters gifted back to the far North
         
               She was very busy on a path from the depths of time 

            Along life's gift of wonder from a Love source quite Divine

The small stream that bubbled forth from beneath a stone found her way to the ocean joining hands with other water ways. After joining the mighty ocean, she hasn't forgotten her source and she falls down once again on the rock as rain and the cycle continues. Beautiful personification, dear BJ

This vividly descriptive piece flows smoothly along like that stream. You have created a deeply meaningful analogy, BJ. Janice
