If you’ve come here for solace, dear people, come calmly.
I cannot stop the rains.
But I can bring to you handfuls of droplets like candy,
morsels of hurricane.
Each drop is a galaxy, a fish, and a serpent,
a day’s work and an unborn child
who knows that H2O is just a new word, and as all life, we live wild.
And language, dear reader, is our hands in water,
shaping current with dance.
Meaning is the smile of a poor man’s daughter,
a moment of elegance.
So change the world. And be changed with it.
For heaven often weeps.
Know now you are eternal, shape-shifting in leaps and bounds.
