Source to sea, raindrops fall,
The rain is peaceful and relaxing,
Water flows from calm to bubbling over stones,
Skipping and bubbling over dark stones and mossy depths,
Mossy rocks made smooth by time and flows

Clean blue lifeless water,
Swirling bubbles, clear and blue dancing quickly,
Coloured weeds and dancing with me,
Reflections of sunlight are so colourful

Mossy rocks and bubbles,
Dynamic life within the rocks,
Bright dynamic beginnings,
Beginning towards the hostile unknown

Wild and gentle beginnings in peace,
Wild at heart and wild by nature,
Nature’s journey moving, creating noisy peace,
Fizzing noise from bubble vortices

Volcano of life,
Life disturbed by flow,
Flow sculpt land and rocks gently,
Land resistance, I will get through

I am unstoppable, I keep on freely flowing,
Hurried movement cascading and tumbling,
Bubbling over the delicate flora and fauna,
As above, so below, bubbling, full of air, each side a mirror –

Fast currents of bubbles,
It goes quickly and bubbles like a waterfall,
Washing clean the rocks, quickly by,
Rushing and washing all around

Rocks and landscapes formed over centuries,
Smooth surfaces are formed, as on my journey I go,
Journey with no escape from deep water,
Trying to escape, gasping for air whilst being sucked deep below

Debris spirals on the surface,
Spiral arises from the deep waters,
Deep water reveals contracting flows,
Flows go down,
Down space and to time to transform

A conflict of movement rapid and slow,
Rapid yet slow, passage of time, passage of water,
Slow at first, getting into speed and,
A quick tempo ducking and diving through the caverns

Continuous movement, sometimes quiet, sometimes restless,
Restless water, fast flow, water’s reflection on smooth rocks,
Waterfalls are fantastic places for reflection,
Fantastic, powerful, chaotic giver of life

Hurling towards the unstoppable,
Downwards its hurling, relentless and powerful,
A powerful and unstoppable force,
Escape the force, shelter in the eddy

Bubbling life in a maelstrom,
It’s when I’m bubbling that I’m breathing,
Energy, spheres and breathing geysers,
Carrying energy with me

Hurling towards the unstoppable,
Downwards its hurling, relentless and powerful,
A powerful and unstoppable force,
Escape the force, shelter in the eddy

A dynamic atlas projected on the ceiling,
Dynamic is also the change of the landscape,
Smoothing and carving the landscape surrounding,
Lazily carving its path.

Light twinkles through to life in the deep,
Life’s secretes suspended in the deep,
Deep with many layers, but a home I still offer,
Home to fish and strange plants; mystical world

A smooth, murky journey losing sight of where it’s going
Freedom and life runs smooth,
The river shows freedom and peacefulness,
Insulated from the sounds of rain, there is peacefulness in my land

Calm, flowing, life force,
The water full of life comes and goes flowing,
My life carries on as normal,
Nothing is normal, all has wonder

Life looks beyond the surface,
Beyond myself there is space to be,
Be connected to the cosmos and see light and spirits,
Light from cosmos shines on life in moss,
Light shines through to illuminate fish and flora

At last, long thin tiny fish with stripes, hurrah,
Fish swimming between the rocks,
Dappled sunlight on stones and flashes of fish,
Families of fish living safely in slow flowing water,
Is water life? Does water give life? Unquestionably so! Water is Climate and climate is water

It transforms the landscape – striking or not,
Flashing stripes on a shifting landscape,
Sediment shifting, fish swimming, plants growing – life,
Life teeming with the restless silence of the deep
