Water Walking
What is a human
but water's way of running uphill?
A shortcut for the downward dragged.
The hill walker, mountain-climber
the embodied ocean's sacred ascention;
the aspiring salt-sea of our cells
upward drifting from the forlorn valleys
that languish in the fogs and hazes of night.
We journey to the sun and sky;
for views from the top of the world.
We are the walking ocean
released from the selfish grasp of gravity
We are the falling river reversed
free to wander, and wonder at the world.
