Sea Cadence

Sometimes
wild and rhythmic
crashing against the shore
in the heartbeat of deep waters
and shouts against the sky and earth

Sometimes
still and domesticated
a canoe navigates the lake mirror

The sea
and the lakes
and the rivers
speak in the language of flow and balance

Cloud
cousins
in the sky

Water reincarnates-
from sea, to cloud, to life

Yes
life
depends on water

But
sometimes
life forgets

Sometimes
too much is given-

To power
and symbols
and walking on hard ground

Sometimes
we forget
we are the sea.
