This cascade of
sound
that saunters
down
the mountainside
crashing
through
brush and
trees
as it
quenches
the ground,
this thirsty
earth
coolong the
parched
lips
of all.

This water
that crystal
clear
descends
through
life,
bringing life
eveness
liquidity
and fluidity
to everything.

The thristy tree
drinks
deeply
as the
sky
absorbs
mist and vapor
giving living
sharing life
to all
that it touches
this pure water
Diaphanous,
liquid, transparent
quenching soul
slaked thirst,
touching you
touching me.

Shimmering jewels
of clear
droplets
bead
downward
caught by
gravity
on its
mission
to rejuvenate
life
slipping into
immortality
while
cooling everything.

A wonder
to
touch
to behold.
