In The Sound of the Stream

In the Sound of the Stream

Have you ever been walking in the woods

hearing no sound of a stream,

and then suddenly you hear it?

Have you ever been walking for so long in the sound of the stream

that you cannot imagine how a sound

could enter and fill you so completely,

leaving no space for words, or even for the thought of a stream sounding,

until the sound, streaming through your veins sends the trees and rocks

rolling into white clouds upon a hill, as you fall back

into soft green grass staring up at the sky,

so blue, wondering

not who you are but

that you are?
