The Wondrous Stream


Consistently, you move along, 
   winding in and out,
gliding with stealth and grace-
   a stream that began 
so narrow and small, but
   grew to a wondrous length.

With a weave of branchlets, 
   jutting everywhere, 
joining in freely from 
   the most powerful
central source, you gift your 
   constant, gushing song.

Oh, great rushing stream, 
   you are the sacred life
that feeds this precious place
   where you flow, day after day,
with steady, pulsing ripples
   from your core.

From an endless surge, you
   and your tiny streamlets
nourish well this host.
   Oh, sweet gift of life!
I am alive- by your full stream 
   of rich, flowing blood.
