become like water
clear, still, a moving mirror
rippling soft and shallow
become like water
fall downhill in long steep steps
of yielding water-ness
become a wave
and roar, angry force for change
tear away all but the essential
become like water
three necessary movements
of the same self
***the creek walks are becoming a great way to center on a daily basis…

Ah, there are few metaphors that express quite as much as water. Must be the Piscean me that feels so at home with this.
Works for Virgos, too, George–or at least this one who was told by an astrologer many years ago her moon was in Scorpio…Whatever the case, I am drawn to water and find it is a constant source of centering and renewal for my spirit 🙂
Susan, this is awesome. I love water poems. You might want to link this to the most recent prompt at Poetic Bloomings, which is about water.

Thank you so much, Richard! I will take a jog over there, thanks for the tip 🙂
Thoroughly enjoyed, Susan.
Thank you very much 🙂
You’re welcome, Susan.
Water – cleanse, refresh, calm, cool; Water, flood, waves, tsunami, torrent. Same water, different meanings, different associations! I see your meditation as pointing out to us the potentials of water – the positive, the peaceful, the constructive, the destructive – all are possible, with circumstances and terrains playing a determining role on which meaning and function become dominant!
Exactly–really appreciate your comments 🙂
I’m a Scorpio so it is with great luck I live in England, where we so much water falling out of the sky, of all places. Nice poem be as water – cool
Thank you so much Ian 🙂
Yes, you do have plenty of water to resonate with and thanks so much for liking the poem.
