I have always found my way
...
to waters' poetry ... for
I am drawn
by inspiration ... to
brooks
and springs ... that I can
step across with ease
I am drawn ...
to capricious creeks that
vanish and return
to rivers-of-change ... as
constant ...
as a mountain range ...
though in winter ... shrouded ...
beneath ... ice and snow
I am drawn ...
to lakes and to lake ponds
and to lagoons ...
to oceans ... to the deep
abiding sea
I have always found my way
...
to waters' poetry ... and
go there still ...
and often now
it comes to me
I close my eyes … remember … and it comes to me
in the purl and ripple of
a phrase
in the crash and swirl
that stirs expression
in the ebb and flow of
lapping waves
upon a jagged shore or
sandy beach
along a stony bank or tall
grass knoll
beside a crooked creek or
vast blue sea
I close my eyes
and I am there ... in
waters' poetry

I do think there is something magical about being near a body of water - whether it be an ocean or a lake or a brook. Very inspiring, in addition to being calming. Water transports a person - either physically or in one's imagination. Beautiful writing, Wendy.
ReplyDeleteHow very beautiful and what a wonderful way to get swept along with water poetry
ReplyDeleteI love the water too... often I feel that water is the perfect music... music being poetry. The only water I find hard to cope with in poetry is the pouring rain and wet feet.
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful, Wendy. Your phrases trickle into my being like the creeks and rivers themselves. So lovely.
ReplyDeleteWater to me is poetry. I can become mesmerized in it's beauty. It seems to bring a sense of calmness. I even like walking in the rain from time to time. It seems cleansing.
ReplyDeleteWater is my favourite metaphor for poetry. The way ebbs and flows and possesses so many wonderful qualities makes it an endless well of inspiration.
ReplyDeleteOh Wendy this is a new favorite for me of yours! Water is so mysterious and beautiful! I can relate to how it inspired your poetry!
ReplyDeleteThis is beyond beautiful!❤️ I love water and its symbolism when it comes to poetry. There is something deeply poignant about the ebb and flow which is similar to the up and downs in life.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. Love the sound of water and how it makes poetry
ReplyDeleteWater does have its own sense of rhythm and imagery--I love this Wendy--I feel its eddies and currents flow throughout--beautiful write!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful Wendy; what a delight it was to read.
ReplyDeleteI can relate to that.. my first poetry collection, by the way, is titled Water to Water!!!!
ReplyDeleteA sheer delight to read, as I too love bodies of water and have found I can't bear to live too far from.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully written. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteMe too, my friend, me too. There is so much poetry in the natural flow of water. Beautifully put.
