Watercycle

Water                                                                                                                                      
            rushing
                        down
                                    the mountain

f   l   o   w   s

past the thousand beautiful places
where it might stay
          but

on and on it goes

splashing over the smoothe bare rocks
their subtle colors shining in the sun

past the grapevine tangle, the maple leaves,
the rotten logs and green-gold moss.

seeping through the crevices where the crawdad hides

down and over
       the
              water
                            fall

       to linger in a pool.

Always going with the flow                                    Always giving up what has come
before

for what is

NOW

From where it comes, there it shall return
and

everthing is cool.
