Song of Still Water

Song of still water chalice of light

Sharpened your sun strikes the chord within it

Cupped and the stab of roses watered

Then sings my mirrored sea:

Of its sadness

Emptied

*

Rain of silky skies pourings of sight

Soothed your haloed moon shimmies the silence

Caught and the pain of love smoothed

Then repines my polished seeing:

Of its gauntlet

Ruined

*

Pool of bright heartache ruins of relief

Rough your smoother way makes the easier hard

Relinquished and the sting of death braved

Then leaps my un-shined knowing:

Of its happiness

Filled

*
