Little Stream Poem by Hazel Connelly

The feeling of peace longing for more
Watching reflections move with the flow
The water ripples beneath my toes
And of this place no one knows.

I look with intent at the darkening sky
With solemn face and a tearful eye
Looking across the meadow way
Watching the young deer at play.

The window of light bright once again
Over places dear to my heart remain
I kneel beside the little stream
Peering into the waters gleam.

The deer stops along it's brink
Bending low to take a cool drink
On it flows to a destined place
Along to the sea with impressive grace.
