A chapter in the book Songs of Recovery
A Hope of Water
In you, I see all the strength and vitality of water:
the life-bringer whose currents stir beauty into the world,
sensitive to all the cycles of this ever-changing universe—
the gentleness of falling rain drops paired
with the power of the crashing wave focused upon a rock—
the free flow of ideas and inspiration,
channeled into beautiful purpose, but never truly caged—
indestructible and transfiguring.
I hope you take comfort in this:
no matter how tempestuous the storm, the waves are unharmed—
no matter how high the dam, it allows flow or perishes—
no matter how hard the gemstone, water cuts it with the right focus.
Water knows itself in any shape, elemental to its being,
and I know you will flow as freely as rivers course to sea,
chasing the meanings and passions you have found,
even if the course is winding and difficult.
