Eternal Source
follow your recurring course—slither down from mountain slopes—
gather into rivulets—sweep the valleys—pass the hills!
overflow with cataracts—fill the rivers—form the lakes—
mirror all the sky and swell, and flow into the ocean.
disappear into the air—make tornados, thunderheads—
sail away on tumbling winds—float and rest among the clouds . . .
pour if you are inclined to—hit the ocean—beat the land—
leap the breakers—lap the shore—stretch across the open sea.
like the ocean does all day—roll and play and live and dream—
heave with billows to the main, and reach to each horizon.
spin below in vortices—mix with hidden undercurrents—
join the essence of it all—touch the silent ocean floor . . .
do not tarry in the gulf—meet the rivers—leave the bay—
cross the pools, lagoons and lakes—revel with the waterfalls!
spread the message of the deep—enter grottos, clefts and pores—
connect to water everywhere—soak the thirsty, waiting soil . . .
ripple over creek and rill—run with rapids down the stream—
let no stagnant water be—follow your recurring course—

Bubble up, eternal source—
Make a turn and broaden here—
Bubble up—evaporate—
Turn around and look below—
And now enjoy your being
Rise and fall with tidal waves—
Roll on, ocean—find the coast—
Bubble up and undulate—
Hear the trickle of the spring—
bubble up, eternal source!
