Billowing
Like clouds in the sky
With the dreams
I only allow myself
At night
Curled safely
In my own bed
While the light
Clings to them all
Clings to me
Clings to my mind
Clings to my heart
Then the wave comes
And I wonder anew
At the interplay of moving water and sand
The rivulets and eddies and smaller waves
Beautiful patterns
Surprising, exquisite
Challenging, evocative
Alarming, provocative
I love the way time
And the elements enhance
Its beauty
Its value
I can let
The consequences
Lay where they come to rest
Or
But that’s OK
Too far
Is simply a place
I haven’t learned to reach
Just yet
To a neutrino
The space between the atoms
Seems like the emptiness
Between the stars
Depositing, Depositing, Depositing
On mounds and terraces
The beautiful stuff of Earth
Cools, solidifies, colours
