Ode to Water (aka Liquid Fury)

(originally penned April 2004)

crystal clear
shinning like diamonds
flat
placid
like plate glass
holding secrets
holding life
reflecting my feelings, it begins
to splash with energy
refracted colors of electric blue and sea foam green
each tiny ripple filling with emotion
bubbling with light-heartiness and laughter
waves begin, slow and methodical
becoming rough, choppy and crashing
against me
dousing me with refreshing excitement
quenching my thirst
cleansing my desires
sharing the pure serenity of the inner soul
but soon, way to soon
it beings to evaporate away
as this is the way
rejoining the universe
always an eternal ebb and flow
