When water runs
It eats away the earth
Cutting facets
Like crystal
Above the dry valley
They call Death
It eats away the earth
Cutting facets
Like crystal
Above the dry valley
They call Death
Thus they shone
Close to bone
A feat not
Taken lightly
Until
The rain
Did fail
Such a road promises
Adventure, beauty, discovery
And the longer I follow it
The further inside myself I see
Some images
Must be allowed
To speak for themselves
And so I forfeit
The beauty
And insight
I will never know
Other
Unfettered
Without risk
Without consequence
Without desperation
Somewhere better
To be
Somewhere different
To see
Between
There seems
An expanse
Of nothingness
A beach head
A landing
A portal
A gateway
I suppose that is the way
Of rainforest life
I hanker for the sun
Complain about the wet
But it exhausts me
when the sun stays too long
