Julie Draper Poet Kyrielle

The Water Flows

In the valley's green forest sprawl 
There runs a stream and waterfall 
I'm often drawn there to feel free 
Water flows and nourishes me 

Hidden under the treetop weaves
Bordered by ferns and mossy leaves 
Cool water soothes my energy 
Water flows and nourishes me

I sit quiet and watch it drift
Constantly moving and shape shift
Moulding itself round rock and tree 
Water flows and nourishes me

It babbles to itself in play
Busily tumbling o'er the way  
I remember I can flow free 
Water flows and nourishes me
