The river water
runs high and fast.
Unknown depths,
cloudy murk obscuring
what is usually
so clear.
The season
is changing.
The high tide
lifts debris that has
been stuck since the last
spring storms
and carries it away.
In the run-off and rain
new biodiversity are
introduced, seeds from
places never seen here
downstream.
The land alters under
the authority of this new flow
the landscape – forever changed.
Not better, not worse, but new.

Ten stolen minutes
to say
to see
all there is to see
all there is to say
all there is to be
to breathe
take ten minutes
and breathe

The water laps
soothing the disquiet
of all things unknown.
There are larger,
cycles and tides…
rhythms at work…
you will not ever
know the music to.
But you might,
if you are still,
hear an echo.

ssh… ssh… ssh…
the sea soothes
ssh… ssh… ssh…
the sea moves
ssh… ssh… ssh…
the moving sea soothes
ssh… ssh… ssh…
the soothing sea moves
ssh…
ssh…
ssh…
the river
invites you
not to be
anywhere
but here
yellow pollen blossoms
seeds and pods
spring blooming
all along the riverbank
spring
and blooming
quack says the duck
quack at once mournful
and warning
a calling or a sending
listen…
quack says the duck
quack at once guarding
and guiding
a calling or a sending
listen…

It is so beautiful here.
Beauty seen.
If you choose the
time and inclination
to see it.
