"Mountain Stream" by Prof Steve

Crystal spring-fed stream
Flowing down the mountain side
Like a springtime dream
Over rocks and boulders slide,
Gurgles on its way
To the valley far below.
Silver minnows play’
Leave behind the frigid snow.
Down to sheltered vale,
Carries life upon its breast
Where plants and beasts avail
New life and on the banks shall rest.
