Hold It Tight
Translucent, cool, refreshing
Through finger-tips caressing,
The challenge is arresting
I just cannot hold it tight.
The water trickles downward
Soon both my feet surrounded,
My finger-tips curl ‘round it
But I still can’t hold it tight.
If only it had body
For me to hold and study,
Then maybe I won’t worry
That I cannot hold it tight.
Now comes a revelation
A grasping of creation,
A pang of inspiration
I’ll just freeze it into ice.
