Opaque Lakes
Bathe in opaque lakes.
Water waltzes with unseen things
Who is watching from the hills? Do you feel secure and clean?
Can life change within the splash?
You can inherit disease or a pod of pearly things.
Or smash your spine on a devil stone
make love to a water lily or
gently stroke through life alone.
Jesus was fond of water, I think.
Poor people are grateful for it.
They dream in little ripples
The rich dream in tsunami waves.
Take a chance; dance with unseen things.
Bathe in opaque lakes
See what emerges from your being.
