Oh my, you are so happy
When you are happy.
Celebrating life with
Waterfalls so big and so glorious and so sublime
That they force even the most human-centric creature
Into speechlessness and wonder.
Oh my, you are so angry
When you are angry.
Your temper waves whipping up into
An almighty storm
Your eyes fierce and glistening with white foamy rage
Throwing destroyer ships
And massive blue whales
Around in your giant washing machine belly.
Oh my, you are so calm
When you are calm.
Your surface appears dead still
Embodying tranquillity and grace and humility
Camouflaged mirror
Reflecting only the ego
Of those gazing.
Oh my, you are so sad
When you are sad.
Tears
Raining upon the earth
Filling up her puddles
Water holes and streams
Sometimes torrential and hysteric
When the grief of an immense forest fire
hits you like a tsunami
Sometimes a sniffle drizzle
When one of your beloved dolphins
Dies of natural causes.
Oh my, you are so clear
When you are clear.
The trout appears to be
Gliding through the air
In a fancy magic trick
As you hold yourself open and transparent
Revealing all to see.
Oh my, you are so elegant
When you are elegant.
A single droplet of you
Perched on that candy red hawthorn berry
Catching a spark of silver
From grandmother moon
Infatuating any passers-by.
Oh my, you are so playful
When you are playful.
Pulling in and out
At the yellow sand beaches
While the dogs and children
Skip and laugh in your wake
Creating and making life
Wherever you go
Effortlessly fertile.
You are the full spectrum of emotions
You flow, crash, pour, trickle, stream, gush, splash, freeze, evaporate…
You numb nothing
You are real
You are vulnerable
You are courageous
You are raw
You feel the pulse of life fully in your every cell
You are intoxicatingly you
Fully, holy, you
And my goodness
Is it beautiful.
