Poetry
The purest stream is one that’s prone
To fall and tumble in its course,
Enlivened by each shallow stone,
Which in its path reveals its force.
The water’s voice is strong indeed
When obstacles deflect its flow.
The more the sticks and stones impede
Its marching song will louder grow.
Proceeding from an unseen Head,
Its conduct seems to be its own.
But ever by that bond it’s fed
And never does it run alone.
From time to time the stream grows deep.
Unfrenzied, restful water flows.
And rolling past its borders steep,
It gathers strength as on it goes.
But should it turn aside to stand
In lifeless pools that make no sound,
The water joins itself to land
And must reflect the world around.
