Rocks and River

It happens when we’re sleeping
Focused thoughts come into view
Gentle spirits call a meeting
A place where we pass through

Where mighty rushing rivers flow
Green landscapes burgeoning
And indigo dog violets grow
Patience and love harvesting

You, the stream flowing
I, the shape of stability
Growing, never plateauing
Wearing me smooth, subtly

At times nature tears us apart
She regards us with suspicion
Leaving us with wounded hearts
To renew love sans inhibition

Thoughts pouring onto each other
Repeating rhythms brimming over
Holding forth on terra firma
Fluid and solid, rocks and river

(c) 1999 CM Bailey

Corinne, what can I say? I love it. The weaving of nature and love, two of my favorite subjects, is joyous. Thank you.

'It happens when we’re sleeping
