Written In Water

Written in the water of my life

are the whale songs of my beginning

long moans recalling the trappings

of my condition as well as the joys

of its definition

words appear, dissolve

elusively uttering riddles

leaving me to churn in the flow

of their meaning

Carried by the movement

I cannot fight

lest I be drowned

by the oblivion of unconscious thought

Spiraling I revisit the sounds

at once strange and familiar

until in recognition

they find their resting place

in the resonance of my beating heart.

  1. You are truly a word artist, Kiki. The imagery you create transcends language and transports the soul to a place of primordial depth.
