The Water, the Wave and the Flame
Based on Portrait No. 1, Blue and Green Music by Georgia O'Keeffe 1921
THE WATER, THE WAVE AND THE FLAME (Edited by Debbie Guzzi)
Against the wave, the flames,
I rise high. I run deep.
My amplitude expresses me;
I clash against the rocks.
Strong and powerful, I am,
Just because, because, I am equation.
I am tall. I am firm.
My mortar expresses me.
I support the sky.
Strong and powerful, I am.
Just because, because, I am foundation.
I soar wide. I am profound.
My glow expresses me;
I flash against the wind.
Strong and powerful, I am.
Just because, because, I am radiant.
As one, we are strong, together stronger:
the water, the wall, and the flame.
