Jade

Great stones harbored my feet from the prickly pebble   Runoff pools were calm tho frigid   Reflections of mossy stone ruins Babylon's hanging garden   My toes decided to venture against the rage  row row against the rage    Torrent crystal swifts ran  and they bombed, jagged edge brushed and they rushed    Upstream was harsh as she was lush canopy gold brushed  on our ways     The birds    How they sing and the deer on the feed along the stream
