Dreams and Waters

Slow on a deep, broad river, or so quick from clear, cool streams, or swift o'er rock and boulder course the waters of our dreams. It must flow free, our vision life, like waters that all blend with toil and need and new thought seed to find a worthwhile end. No dream should be discarded, or be shrouded from life's face. Great genius and ideas first were known in mind's free space. And, seeing that all waters flow to feed life and make whole, we drink of dreams from deep, cool streams then write upon life's scroll. Perceptions true, which quench that thirst we share though some deride. If visions meet fulfillment they live on and so abide. And those who thirst for life and dreams love drawing from that well where hope, clear thought, and effort may be seed and then in-dwell. Dreams and Waters 12-14 Common Verse

I love how you use water as an analogy of our dreams and of life. You did a wonderful job with imagery and expression. A 7!
