Active Ranker
Deep down beneath the granite floor,
where heavy mountain shadows lie,
it flows without an open door,
unseen by any passing eye.
It does not race the open river,
nor roar across the waterfall,
yet gives the valley leaves a shiver
and keeps the forest standing tall.
Though summer droughts may parch the ground
and turn the upper branches dry,
its cold, untamed supply is found
where earth meets root in quiet tie.
For sources of true life remain
concealed beyond the common sight;
they do not depend on falling rain,
but feed the world without the light.
