The DeltaRushing...swirling...down the mountainside...
Over stones, rocks and boulders....ever shifting....
Crystal clear and cool as the breath of winter....
Melting snow and sweet rain flow.....
Such is the water of Life....
Far, Far away.....another place...another time...
Primordial beginnings with divine intervention...
New life springs forth....a new day dawns...
The salt of tears as yet unshed in a sea of love...
Such is the water of Life....
Mountains meet the valleys with rivers unwound...
Flowing slower and calmer with time to meander...
Fauna and flora to these banks come....
To build a place that each calls home...
Such is the water of Life....
Deep in the sea where darkness reigns...
Movement and awakening rising to the surface....
Heat...blessed heat....and the light of the sky...
Floating on waves that the tides carry in....
Day turns to night and the quarter moon glows...
Such is the water of Life....
Arms reaching out to embrace the land...
Cool fingers grasping at the very air...
Feeling the heat as the mouth looms near...
The sound of joining is a whisper in the wind...
Such is the water of Life....
Here the river meets the Sea and surrenders all...
To be taken in and made as O/one...
Like the silken touch of a lover newly found...
Bonded in the Delta and joined at the mouth....
Such is the water of Life...
In the Delta where river meets Sea....
A quarter moon hangs with a golden glow....
The winds whisper and the trees sing in tune....
For here is the heart that beats for You....
Such is the water of Life....
