PROMPT ~ RIVULETS
By John Yeo
The frozen ice on the mountain peak
Began to thaw and flow down,
A trickle at first; then a tiny stream,
Then a flood cutting through the rock,
A life-giving force on the move.
~
Cataracts and rivulets, through
Mountain passes and steep canyons
Bringing clear precious waters
To the arid parched plains below.
A life-giving force on the move.
~
Water the essence of life,
Flowing sustenance for cultivation,
Mighty rivers of moving life
Bringing the life-blood to the land
A life-giving force on the move.
~
Great rain-forests taking nourishment
From the pure clear rain,
In the rising sun-kissed clouds.
The essence of the life explosion,
A life-giving force on the move.
~
The river of life-filled liquid,
Races, then lazily rolls along.
An unstoppable flood of beauty,
Flooding to join the clear blue sea.
A life-giving force on the move.
