oh how the water flows
as life doth pass us by
into our hearts
the love, too, flows
carries us
shelters us
steadies life's rocky ride

oh the journey is a wondrous one
full of hopes and turns
steady us
rock us
life lessons sometimes relearned

as the water flows
as the love grows
we reach out to each other
carry you
steady you
enjoy life's wondrous ride

the best sound is one I n'er hear often

from where does she come?

who encourages her to travel such distance?

what inspires her to journey so?

the simple joy of delivering pleasure

her gift a constant lapping

the delight she brings most beautiful

 yet often noticed not at all

what soul could not notice?

what awakening must occur?

this soul yearns for the constancy of her.

anxious journeys to meet her

from where doth she come?

 i do not know

our souls journey to find each other

alas, she is always waiting my arrival

her gift extended for my embrace

and i, i embrace her gift always

never wanting the journey return
