Water
I walk in Clouds
who laugh and weep
their sorrows and joys
as loving Sunrays
and caring Moonbeams
dance the short days
round and round…
I walk in Showers
of Raindrops and Snowflakes
who whisper secrets
as they gently fall-
in Blizzards that blind
and freeze with indifference-
in fierce Storms that shout
with violent fury…
Water holds Memory,
blessings and curses,
clarity and pollution…
In countless lives
Water is Aware-
Aware of us in us as us
and so much more…
In Tides and Currents and Flows,
Water moves in Bodies
great and small-
rises unseen and descends
with powers to transform
all that is immersed
in what it has become…
I walk in Rains
immersed in Water
within and beyond my skin
that once bordered Awareness,
grown borderless now
as Torrents and Floods
sweep away boundaries
and Human definitions…
I walk in Mists
of vaporous thoughts
infused with emotions-
in wildly thunderous or
blissfully calm billows
of ever-changing Clouds
now here, now gone
as am I…
Water watches all
on little Planet Earth-
watches Landscapes
shift and change,
Water and Land
advancing, receding
over and over again…
Water watches
the dramas of Evolution,
slow cycles and lightning leaps,
as Flora and Fauna disappear-
watches Humans
appear and disappear
like Streams above and under ground…
Water watches, watches and awaits
another Great Earth Age-
an Age of Un-Named Forms…
