Eternal Source

1

bubble up, eternal source

follow your recurring course — slither down from mountain slopes

gather into rivulets — sweep the valleys — pass the hills

make a turn and broaden here

overflow with cataracts — fill the rivers — form the lakes

mirror all the sky and swell, and flow into the ocean

bubble up — evaporate

disappear into the air — make tornadoes, thunderheads

sail away on tumbling winds — float and rest among the clouds

2

turn around and look below

pour if you’re inclined to — hit the ocean — beat the land

lash the breakers — lap the shore — stretch across the open
