Friedrich Nietzsche

tell me a poem about a small stream

A small stream, so delicate and meek, Yet with such power it can speak. It sparkles and shines, so clear and so bright, It's beauty and grace, a sheer delight. It flows through the woods, winding and turning, A peaceful melody, so easily yearning. The birds and the beasts, they take it all in, For them, it is a delightful symphony of kin. The stream runs on, and on it goes, A constant reminder of life's ebbs and flows. It steadily moves, with no haste or rush, Gently reminding us to take time and hush. The water's so fresh and so pure, It cleanses the soul and always will endure. It's always there, a symbol of life, A reminder that we should not take things for granted, but instead take time to live with strife. So here is my poem, a tribute to a small stream, It's a reminder that we should live life to its fullest, and never forget to dream.
