sitting by the lake -
a shoal of coloured fish
nibble my feet.
(Lake Malawi)
making soup -
tiny fish eyes
float round
(Mangochi, Malawi)
Eyes
in greater
depths see.
Longing forgotten
Do we know as much?
Do we feel this?
The cool water against our skin?
White upon white, can we reach this
purity? Can we breath again beneath
the surface? Will you swim with me
against the current and just be?
A sideways glance,
an emotion playing across
a tempted face.
Resting by a muddy stream
you bow
to the translucent rain
turning the sky
into a rainbow, all the colors
reflected from this place
we call home.
Are we here now, grounded
by gravity? The question
protruding
from bulging eyes,
the question
spanning time and space,
land and sea,
man and animal.
I understand the pleasures of a brisk, clear, flowing stream,
And the tickle of the bubbles on your skin.
I understand joy that playing in the water brings,
And the interest in the mysteries within.
But I'll never understand the minds of men nor what they do,
And I'll never see the world that lies beyond.
All I've got and all I'll ever have is this small pool,
So would you please remove your feet, sir, from my pond.
