Mountain Stream

water rushes round rocks

where ice used to crawl

lifeblood coursing for cataracts

tumbling over the smoothed

granite edge of high ledges

thrust up by the first heaving

breaths of the earth vital fluid

in plunge down to cold sparkling

pools where it swirls for a time

to regather momentum for

its drive to replenish the sea
