Fire and water converge
Vapour in the sky
Water will not run uphill
It will not run fast across a plain
It will not run at all
Where no rain falls

Is not always the best path
Or the true path
So I try to remember

Now I walk with a gentle deference
Listen, when I might have spoken
Forgive, when I might have challenged
Let go, when I might have held on

Hinting at the night to come
And the sleep
The long overdue sleep
Darkness welcomes

Swirl sand into slurry
Lift it out
Dripping from fingertips
Edges unaligned
Contexts out of reference
Colours unbalanced
Such sweet gift I proffered
To other souls
None taking
