Riparian

(Poetry Scales 46)  

drawn across corn dry fields
   meandering stripe of green
      drawing power magnetic wields
   across divide of hazy sheen
flowing as a hushed sound joy
   life dances along the stream
      as she plays along quite coy
   the moon casts its quiet dream
flowing, churning, ever on
   ever growing, she must teem
      from smallest brook to amazon
   the miracle is the theme
