It's Still Life

Day 19: Write a poem inspired by the soothing sounds of a flowing stream.

Or Water

In this place, or moment,
or water,
in this full cup of bliss,
there is an echo
within me.

In this place, or time,
I am a creek, swift with
young water.
Brimming over. I am thin water
over smooth stones.

I hold tiny-bone fish, and I fill
their lungs,
pull them through
broken water. I am the colour
of cold ice cream.

In this place, or water,
I am memorable as cinnamon,
refreshing as the scent of sage.
I am soothed by my
echo in water.
