A poem that I wrote seems to have more significance now

The Waters

Soft, gentle rain gathering into murky pools
Now flowing together as a happy brook
Laughing, jumping as it trickles down
Giving life to all it touches.

Brook meets brook, together one inseparable
They press forward moving rock and all
Crashing over, plummeting down they fall
Creative, destructive, unbridled passion.

All they touch, forever changed
Valley to canyon, canyon to gorge
Manic toward home, oblivious oblivion
Alpha and omega, Mother of all.

The current rises to the Sun
Peaceful mist, rising, joining
Forming fog, then clouds, carried high
Then rain again, and their eternal round.

Your poem is beautiful. I feel it gives the essence of a life. Our entire involuntary evolution unfolding and yet nurturing as we flow, unaware of the thirst that might be waiting all around us. I sipped deeply at the edge of this sweet brook. I have nothing to replenish what I took but I will write my name in the sand, here on this very spot. Time will erase my symbol of gratitude, but other symbols will follow on the path of your journey home. Thank you.

Jane,

Your response tells me that my efforts were more worthwhile than I had imagined they would be.
