Water

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…

Mists

Here’s a photo I took on my walk yesterday. California Poppies and Love In A Mist.

The second photo is a mysterious pink mist of tiny flowers. I don’t know their human names.

I delight in not knowing everything. Don’t you.

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-
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
appear and 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…
