PROMPT—I am grateful for ...
It flows from the mountain top,
flowing in a steady path, splish-splash.
It has never stop traveling its voyage
but where does it come from?
At this bank of a wandering thought
came a bloop question.
Does it have a home, a mother to
nurse and care, did it have a childhood
with friends and cats for fun?
So where did water come from?
Waterland?
At this bank with hasty plopping water came a walking thought
into a little mind, where life
is jolly and play, a world
like one in fairy stories, with
fair skies and wild earth.
A child can sing at the river
bank and wonder, “where
does water come from?”
