Song of the Waters

To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.
(Kahlil Gibran)


Lost Lake, Oregon

 

Song of the Waters

~

should you encounter me wandering lost
my countenance brittle withered and drawn
know that my soul seeks the song of the waters
my aching heart needs be soothed in their arms

so deliver me to snow-melt high-mountain waters
sweep me away in their crystal’d blue streams
tumble me joyous in their rolling white rapids
sail me over a waterfall grand as my dreams

now I’ve grown weary — my leave I will take
to rest in the peace of a deep mountain lake


Willamette Falls, Oregon
