Nature’s rules

Lakes call for stillness
Nights call for madness
Sun calls for joy, laugh in centeredness
Rivers overflow and go
Looking for travelers

Kissing the rain, pleasuring the sky
Standing overthrown by it
Sparkling, star-lit
So far

Clouds hugging the Sun, leaving you
Fatherless, without

Floating away
A mother’s love on your face,
Again

Tenderness holds pain

Crystal tears flowing down
Drop by drop rinsing away unclean residue
Finding a clue
As where to roam

First ground, then foam

Unavoidable entanglement
Causing a sensuous rage

No time to lament
Bitterness wilts with age
