Water is Life
Bright’s Gove, ON
Archival Ink on Hemp, 11x14

Thank you, Water,
for teaching me to be fluid…
that states of calm or thundering
and all in-between
hold their purpose.
Thank you, Water,
for the life you nourish
whether garden carrot,
pond turtle, deep-rooted tree,
me...
We are of you.
Thank you, Water,
for allowing the intimate sailing
across your skin-
absorbing the release from there
and buoying the arrival to here.
Thank you, Water,
for reminding about the equalities
of colour and shape.
whether reflecting steely grey of rainstorm
or teal of blue sky,
in the form of icicle,
rain drop
or condensed breath upon window,
You are still Water.
Thank you, Water,
for cleansing
the dust,
the sweat of heavy life lifting
and breaking my surface tension
in a tub of bubbles
at close
of day.
