when the water flows

when the water flows
by Everett A Warren

May 12, 2006

when the rain falls
the forest sighs in relief
drinks deep of life
and reaches for the stars

when the river runs
the rocks sing of pleasure
shaped by the flow
and cleansed by the sands

when the ocean dances
the waves crash upon the shore
wild with the storm
and rustling quietly with the calm

when the poet dreams
the words flow in the veins
drinking deep of life
and reaching for the stars

Maybe you can add "when the water flows, rugs get saturated, moldy and stinky and septic tanks fail"

Nope. That's what happens when you overdevelop the land, or don't engineer for a common natural event.

Water is powerful stuff, and if you don't work with it, you get in trouble.
