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.
