Way of the Water

Come
Follow me
To follow
The way of
The water

First
Let your
Vapourous
Thoughts
Rise up
To reach
The sky

And then
When you
Are dropped
By the clouds
You come
Down filled
With grace
To embrace
The earth
And to hug
The thirsty
Ground

When you
Encounter
Dips and
Falls
You take them
In your stride
And run with them
Merrily flowing
Along

And when
You meet with
Flat ground
You slow down
Yet keep
Moving and
Flowing
Never
Stopping

For stopping
Is Stagnation
And stagnation
Is life unlived

Therefore
Always
Moving
Always
Flowing

Seeking
The union
With
Something
Bigger or

Looking
To surrender
To the depths
Of the
Underground

And embrace
And feed
The roots of
The trees
To be one
With their
Leaves
To Disappear
Into the ether
As Vaporous
Being
Closing the
Circle of life

Rising up
again
Coming
Down again
And again
And again.
