my stream is a prayer

my stream is a prayer
water flows from who knows where
water goes where it goes
my stream is a prayer only you know

my stream is a prayer with words unknown
water babbles like a baby
waters skips and flows
my stream is a prayer of joyful sorrow

my stream is a prayer of unending reflection
water sings of secret ways
water knows unending days
my stream is a path through the quiet place

my stream is a lilting love of one
water flows without any resistance
water bubbles and dances in its rhythm
my stream is a private depth of communion 

my stream is a prayer of unending days
water flows unstoppable unforced unclaimed
water sings with or without an ear
my stream is a prayer 
and you are drawing near.
