Eddy

I’ve seen you

As a blue-lavender flower

Floating placidly

In an ancient eddy

Of spring runoff.

My benevolent, mossy roots surrounding

Your strength in beauty,

Our untold happiness of old,

Creating a circle of serene love,

Of wild growth,

Sunlight patches stroking

The subtle ripples

In everlasting motion.

This corner of the world

Belonged to us, long gone,

Recovered now, recognized.

Oh love through the ages,

Quiet flowing, peaceful

Joy in the meandering waves,

Let us sing and dance once more

Like we did when the world was unripe!
