From: THE MIGHTY RIVER

In the peaceful flow of the mighty river,
the weave and the bind and the ebb,
and the blind belief that everything is,
with the beat and the drum of the hum
of the world in all its filigree greenery,
the azure skin of the sky is reflected,
drawn in the eye of a sea gazing back,
where white gulls swoop, in line and gust,
seek each other out in separation, the gulf
and the trough, and the arc playing light
in a rainbow splashed and out-spilling
purest colour, deepest sound, aching now...
