Be Open

 

Be open like water on water:

Rain droplets suspended by breezes

Like precious pearls pinched off

When they hit the water with a

Plop!

 

Perfect spheres of sky

Skyting over the surface,

Sometimes it seems for seconds.

Why didn’t I know of this phenomenon

Before?

 

Only under the right

Environmental conditions

Does it seem to happen:

Heavy rain, wind blowing.

See?

 

Like a multitude of stars

Spread o’er the ripples on the water

Until they fall and disappear when

The uplifting breath has left and they are

Done.

 

Then the water and the water become

One.
