Streams

The rain will never stop

if I can help it

where I wander

nothing grows

nothing meanders

nothing tells a truth

when nothing else is needed

so I flow

as a river in June

rushing forth

caressing stones

polishing

making the dull less so

casting up a mist in my wake

as a mirror shines

reflecting the true self

so I carve a path

anew

where the dog laps

and a robin trills

I bring life to it all

Before the coming

Of the rain.
