clear water bends the light

Clear water bends the light.
Light and shadow ripple on skin, beautiful.
texture (pebbles on smooth rocks)
texture (pillowy slippery algae spots)
texture (goosebumps and small patches
I missed shaving) The river’s skin
these tiny waves I’m in
Spirit binding particles and waves into
water, rock, woman.
What would I see if my eyes could perceive
that binding reality? Ridges forming Vs
valleys and peaks, my body
repeats the imagery. Concentric rings
forming solid things, sunbeams bend
and show me the beauty.
What all is there that I do not see?
What else is there for you to show me?
Ridges and teeth, all-consuming
we’re all consuming your all-consuming
fire energy cycle sourced
from your power of love.
