Water Tao


Water flows forever downward
and dissipates into thin air.

It is the bearer of all things.
It endlessly flows and returns.

It is like a reflection of the Tao.
A reflection of your own face.

Absolution

Refracted light bends
Minnows between a trident’s
Prongs. rusted by salt.
*
Scales ripple beneath
Mermaids like a xylophone
Of echo feedback.
*
Water defines space
Only to reform elsewhere,
Emulating fog.
*
Those diamonds at
Each crest wave goodbye to what
The sunrise fractures.
*
If these were hands, how
Deep could they burrow to change
The course of rivers!
*
Water is always
On a quest for salt, to taste
Worthy of a child.
