I have a stream

I have a stream
runs through my home
I can stop it in its tracks
or bring it back
with the twist of a tap.

How clever is that!

I have rain, warm rain
falls in my home.
I can stop it in its tracks
or bring it back
with – the touch of a button, actually.

How clever is that!

Now all I need
is a clump of ferns
two dragonflies
and some pondweed.
