Water

A flash a gleam a sudden stream Slipping out of a hole like a snake Her strength her flowing escape A symbol of life she travels from hidden places by routes that she creates. Walking endlessly from rivers to seas She lives within you and me I hear her now without listening like I breathe without thinking She flows over rocks and drops without blinking Music to the ears a dozen different notes The pitter patter of rain The thrill of a rivulet or roar of spate Or just the constant lapping of the waves Flowing into cracks and crevices or even caves. 12.2.2021 Sponsor:Brian Strand Contest:All Yours Feb 12(1st Place)
