The Stream
I came upon a small and narrow stream
where there was a continuous flow.
Its liquid sounds were fresh and light
and played music in my ears.
Its current ran from high to low
gaining speed as it traveled on.
Over rocks, and valleys I saw it move
as it picked up speed along the way.
Gravity being the stream’s master,
pushed it farther and farther still.
By the time it reached its destination,
it was gushing a symphony of music.
The music went from light and free
to sounding astounding and abounding
till all around could here it’s song
surrounding us loud and clear.
This runoff flowed with such grace
It made my heart race and pound
Ever greater with each movement
Till my heart was full and fluid too.
