To Be Like Water
Comfort is water.
I want to be like water, formless and flowing.
To cascade down a mountain of rocks, crisp and clean among wild, tall trees.
To make love with the moon, birthing high and low tides.
To freeze with Winter. To melt with Spring.
To fall from a thundering sky and play drums on the roof, breaking the highest heat of Summer.
To spring from a faucet into hands that wash the dishes.
To swell in someone's eyes and drop forth gently.
To be shapeless, yet definite.
I want to be like water.
To cling to nothing, and be part of everything.
