The Eternal Journey Of Liquid Poem by Ryan Brodesser

See the stream a flowing down

Through hills, meadows and civilized towns

Never stopping to pool up or rest

Lest it is dammed up or otherwise vexed

See it flowing down the dale

Into oceans where waves hiss and swell

At this spot it gets to stop

Until condensed into clouds and on land raindrops plop

Into fields, plains and farms with whispering crops


It’s journey goes on and on through rivers wide

Until it reaches oceans’ tide

It then enters our land masses door

There it enters once again

So its eternal journey re-begins

It passes continents, lands and places strange

Through swamps, plains, hills and frigid mountain range

It leaps and roars from mountainside

Or perhaps freezing in a glacial slide

And when again it passes through

It is tapped for me and you.
