IN A SHADY NOOK ~ I AM A BABBLING BROOK
I start out as a spring ~ high up in the Fells
I burbbled and gurgled my way through the soil
I burst into the air ~ enjoying the smells
I found a new freedom ~ that nothing could spoil
I wanted to scream ~ I\'M A STREAM !
I burbbled and gurgled my way through the rocks
I was furnished with weed ~ with insects ~ with fish
I meandered my way and then waterfall shocks
I formed tranquil pools ~ consomme in a dish
I wanted to scream ~ OMG I\'M A STREAM !
I reached down to the Plain ~ and started to shiver
I moved slower and lower a drink for the sheep
I widened ~ an Island ~ Now I was a river
I was sluggish and muggish and deep
I wanted to scream ~ I\'m no longer a STREAM !
I am now a RIVER ~ deep wide and slow
I offer a place ~ for you to Canoe
I come to an incline and increase my flow
I tumble and rumble ~ cataractical glee
I fan out in Estury ~ NOW I AM THE SEA !
This last Stanza was added for my MPS Friend DIAMOND
because she asked ~ Ask and you will always receive !
Thanks for reading ~ comments welcome ~ Love BRIAN
