“Light and Water” by Jane Beal
Posted in Images, Jane's Occasional Poems, tagged " Jane Beal, illuminated, light and water, nymphaea alba, water-lilies on March 30, 2016| Leave a Comment »
Light on the water, deep water,
shimmering on the surface –
and the light goes down
into the well of love.
Everything is illuminated.
The hidden treasures, the lost seashells,
the songs water-creatures sing,
the ripple effect of your skipping stone
sinking down to the sand.
Everything is illuminated.
Do you know what water-lilies
look like from underneath?
Do you know how to breathe
in deep places?
Everything is illuminated.
Touch the roots of flowers
that float on the water.
See what can be seen.
Hear me.
