I float.  I flow with the currents that take me upstream
and empties me in the mouth of life’s ocean; waves
silently drift and the ripples sing the harmony of my being.

But when the waters rise, I sink gasping for air.
Lungs suffocate with fear, breathing becomes spare.

My hope begs to die but strength continues to swim
as like a river the water flows constant.  Life never dries.

I rise again and float on the stream beds between
the banks of my existence.  Flesh water wakens me.
Alive again I flow into the sea of my domain.

And there is where I reach the still waters of tranquility.

The still waters are clear, settle and I see through to my soul;
Life resumes and my spirit renews, becoming whole.
