the water (elements, part four)

as i slowly float off
drifting
on top of water
shining
from the fire's light

my mind escapes
like the waves
at once intense
ans then subdued
subjecting my thoughts
to the pattern

to the water
supporter of all life
liquid magic
it swirls
it falls
it rains

or it can be completely still
on the morning of the sunrise
across a little lake
where the fish jump high
and the ducks sail
their feathery vessels

and i am calm here
and i am complete
and i am at one with myself
i am the water.

Water

my favourite one in this series of yours Mark, the way you incorporate yourself into the poem along with the gentle bobbing of the waves...perfect! :D ♥
