Ripples of green waters are radiating, glowing with different shades of green. Shadows of autumn leaves flow swiftly like a mirage.
Inspirational Poems
Water's Prayer
Leafless aspens groom
the iced breeze, while below
a brook descends the mountain
with its musical story, remembering
the serenity of sky, and lightning's clear passion.
Water knows what is far will be near.
Water says choose that which closes distance,
choose touch. When snow falls,
and a green mystery is carried
by all that moves,
choose love.
~ James Bertolino ~
The Power of Water
by Ronald Dondiego
The wind in its invisible splendor
Can tear down the tall oak
And fling its leaves
Into the darkness of night
While water, almost weightless
In tiny drops, can tear down mountains
And the ocean's waves cleaving rocks
Turns them to sand
And it is said that in battle
The soft overcomes the hard
And embraces the principles
Of heaven and earth
So now I breathe softly
In and out
Rising and falling
I am the sea itself
With a universe of starlight
Shining down on my soul
With infinite vastness
Deep Water
Ron Rash
The night smoothes out its black tarp,
tacks it to the sky with stars.
Lake waves slap the bank, define
a shoreline as one man casts
his seine into the unseen,
lifts the net's pale bloom, lets spill
of threadfin fill the live well.
Soon that squared pool of water
flickers as if a mirror,
surfaces memory of when
this deep water was a sky.
Deep Water
six million winter moons past,
I tremble through these
cold Celtic waters
to reach a farther shore,
blood ties run
in strong hues of blue,
rain brings me to the pinnacle,
the ghostbirds
silently echoing my name,
ghouls tempt me,
I taste the sulfuric fear
drag my restless feet
away from monstrous rock faces,
sacrifice blood
of the citizens to the gods
in stoneface moonlight,
dream of the world
in reverie
till I slip into slumber
falling onto safe earthy beach,
bound to illusion
of stillness in deep water.
