xiii days of poems // DAY 5 // riparian zone

meandering waves of sky - birds - leaves
weave clouds of dreams for silver fish who dance
on golden light through crystal waters to their ancient homes

wisdom ripples across the river
while the mist maidens circle their arms around the trees
I grow branches to join the dance of leaves - birds - sky

I laugh with tears in my eyes to see clearly
and the Earth smiles with a belly full of mysteries
