Somehow I became
obsessed
entranced
by water – the smooth
laminar flow
the turbulence
the tidal rise and fall
of the river
because this is estuarine country
and the soft sound
of the stream
after rain
and the surge
and fall
rise and drop
movement
constant lift and lowering
of the sea
the green grey blue
of the ocean
the white topped waves
and the gull flying
and the movement
of water
washes me clean
as if the water in me
sings to the water in the world
moves with its movement
echoes its rise and fall
and laminar flow
and the rain is me
and the stream is me
and the river is me
and the ocean is me
and I am them
washed clean.
Linda is hosting at dVerse tonight. She asks how we purify our minds – very apt for the times we’re living through.
