Snowflakes
falling softly
tentatively
pure, white
innocent
new life.
I Am one.
Earth
cold hard
dormant
I land here.
I am ice, I am lost.
I wait.
Spring comes
warm sun,
I melt into
playing, trickling
tiny Rivulet.
I am born.
Playful riffles
gently learning
to flow
to maneuver
to be Stream.
Time passing,
stream is good
but I want more,
then suddenly –
rushing, roaring,
swirling, foaming
I become River.
Sometimes sunlight
flowing smoothly,
other times storms,
rocks, gashing
hard, struggling.
Learning
to be with rocks,
trees, sky,
other rivulets,
and streams.
I Am more.
Time passing,
waiting and
wanting,
with a deep
hunger inside
for vast.
And finally,
I let go
of Self
and transform,
to endless, infinite
water ocean.
I die.
I am born.
I Am One.
