The Sound of Water

  1. As all our works invite, I enjoyed reading this several times, and--by instinct, I think--a little game emerged: close your eyes and open on a phrase and leap from that one to another. Here's what I did (if I remember the journey correctly):

    from Dark Water my eyes searched for 'light'

    but landed on Living Water

    which was right below Spraying

    right below Soft

    then my eye found the rhyme in Hot

    and dropped down to Ocean

    which reminded me of the smaller water in Pond

    and up to Cool

    which is right below Dark (cycling back

    but not done, as the eye raised to Roaring

    and dashed down to Still--

    I knew that was there

    a cornerstone to the ways we swim through.
