Beholder
The eye will deceive,
but the water never lies ~
always, ever down.
Patiently seeking
the path of least resistance ~
not to be denied.
Gravity enjoined ~
a tool and not a hindrance
harnessed all in time.
After all, what is
a stall in forward progress,
but time to reflect?
Babbling with laughter,
overjoyed by sweet release ~
gushing free again.
Unnoticed by all,
wielded by the Time Keeper,
playing the long game.
A watercolor
canyon as magnum opus
on the grandest scale ~
to the Creator’s delight.
