Water flowing sweetly down stream
Guided by soft caressing hands
Thoughts running as swift as dreams
You think of a peaceful image
A path full of twists and turns
Running through shade and sunligth
Hitting over rocks, wood, sands
On the way, seeing amazing sights
Born small to grow through journeys
Some noticed for they are drawn
Finding a place only to leave
Looking, searching, for something new
Rocky to sandy, turned back again
Connecting with others to twist and turn
Curving around a shaded bend
Flowers growing along smooth banks
Finding a way to a resting place
Touching the ocean, lake, or stream
Always along a winding course
Deep and clear, like some dreams
