I have taken the name "Shiloah" to mean "Shiloh," the name found in Genesis 49:10 referring to the Messiah. It could also mean "Siloam" found in John 9:7, which was a pool of healing. Even if Shiloah and Shiloh are not the same thing/person, with a little poetic license the two nouns come together in their meanings: pool of healing/Messiah.
2 Nephi 18
Isaiah quotes the Lord as saying, “…waters of Shiloah that go softly,” in reference to the nourishment of the living waters of Christ’s words. Notice that the Lord tells Isaiah that his words come “softly” inferring that his voice is a still small voice. I hope Jon Stone will write a song about the waters of Shiloah going softly. As he writes, I hope Michelle will collaborate and sing with him. And as they sing together softly, I hope the words will find the ears of their little brothers and sister and their hearts also.

How about you write a short 2 or 3 stanza'ed poem and I'll take it from there? Love the idea and the imagery.
