Water

Softly, softly the snow falls like dust drifting in sunlight
Time is yawning open to hold this moment still.
Endless, endless you tiny specks of silence,
uniting with your tribe to unveil a portal to Narnia
where flushed strangers smile at one another
complicit in admiration for the catkins
who are buttoned up so finely in their new white pelt

Breathe I the water under the waves or the clear air above them?

The chop throws me into confusion, either would be a rest.

The swell gives repeated fresh views of life, turning me to face them.

To all rivers deep or shallow

A life is a river, the sum of all its sources and land it courses over

Let the river flow and be fed with fresh tributaries, all past experiences are drawn with it, tinting, incorporated.

Part of present and future, not denied but swirled, dissipated. We are the energy of the river forging our course.

To dwell overlong on past waters creates stagnant pools and trapping eddies.

Saline rivulets

Running across parched surface

Soon erased by time
