Wood Gorge Stream

I followed water inklings
Indigo trails coaxing
stream-sojourner along…

Dampish, tangled glen beguiles
Water jewels are hiding,
Mossy shadows skimming,
Time and water carved.

Emerald knolls and twisting trails,
In gazing, spy the sloshing font and
Witness wood gorge stream.

Storm clouds plait their rumbled words
Of eons lost and waters found and
Glittering springs that forged a path,
Like thoughts unknown in source
but certain in their form.

Mirrored silver skies pour forth, echoed thunder, glazed cobalt light.
Stream-life prologue as Earth reveals a
Wood gorge stream…where life prevails.
