THE BROOK

The chattering gossip of the stream
Runs through the beautiful forests
And paradise-like beach dwellings
Toward a mystic realm of terror.
As it frolics over the rocks, it
Nears the raging water of the complex
Ocean. Violently persuading the brook
To come...come and follow in the
Mighty water's footsteps and along
Its shorelines.
The brook rages back, but its
Attempt is only a mere splash
Compared to the tumbling waves
Of the sea.
Suddenly all is calm, the ocean
Has overwhelmed the helpless brook,
Leaving its barren stream dry.
When the summer comes the
Brilliant mountains cry out in glee
Releasing endless gallons of water
Fulfilling the lifeless trench and
Beginning the nightmarish cycle
Once more.
