Water Time

 

All time converges in water
source of life and living
steady flow of strokes
pleasing sapphire sound
ripples and burbles
as her arms pull through
the water
the Widow Wyile follows
the course of the canal
propelling herself
through sixty summers
of now
of won             one
with ancestors now
swimming   leisurely   steadily
in expanding consciousness
through the waters
of all time       countless centuries
one   oh   one   oh one
molecule         miracle
miracle           molecule
generative frequency
gliding     floating     flowing
body of water     held     in a body
of water
timeless perfection
perfecting
undulating
grassy green banks
blue sky
dark gently coursing water
families of geese and ducks
paddling gracefully
along all time waters
too
