A Watery Way

By Tom Streeter

I would like to show you somewhere, someplace tell you about what I know

It shouldn’t take too long and if you’re willing, together we can surely go

Down the trail to the brook there is this special, magical location I’ve found

Very few ever go there and sometimes it feels like sacred, hallowed ground

Be sure to carry good intention, eyes that see and an open heart and mind

Then the once hidden will appear and the long since forgotten we may find

From voices of the water, rocks and trees tidings of inner visions will arrive

Countless yesterdays, struggles, sorrows and joy, feelings of just being alive

Time is here for us presently so let’s abandon other plans we had for today

Certainty’s delusion and reality’s dream with us now, powers soon to fade away

If we can only be our self, observe and really see wonderful Mother Earth’s glory

True awareness will appear and we’ll know some of the other side of the story

We travel along, apart in human being form often lost in search of what is true

Many mysteries do linger hidden just beneath a surface often hard to get a view

If eternity is an illusionary state of being and forever just a long measure of time

Then every moment has within it potential endless possibilities a primordial rhyme

Our wishes, worries and wonders carried by yesterday’s blood flow into the now

Feeding our determination of existence providing clarity of awareness somehow

Well within the quiet of this ancient channel hearing life giving water as she flows

Sound like no other over rock and stone vein path carved seaward gravity knows

Love runs deep in this stream to a place where dazzling flames of the spirits flare

Together we can journey fearless finding enchantment and all the strength to share
