Cold mountain water
                                   rushes over rocks
         It swirls and twirls      splashes and foams
         churning currents                                               It flows  
         of natural life              It washes over stones              at my feet  
                                      sun warmed flesh
                                      and me   
                                       
                 It flows                             
                down my
               left
              side

                                                                And beneath me








                        It washes worrisome
                        worldly thoughts away
                        from my head into the
                        dark abyss of forgetfulness.
