drop

< Back

moon drop

Watch the rock face under the moonlight

Let the water sigh, slide down my cheeks

The moonlight illuminates

The moon drops fragments of never seen glimpses

drops, drip drop drip drop down down

Does it shine or make a dark shadow?

Light on the water

Light on the rock face

Light on water, fall. Waterfall.

Cascade down and make me smooth

Reveal what lays beneath

Velvet water, glistening stone

An emerging pearl

Do I catch your eye now?

I am here if you decide to look

Water falling

Moons rising

Breath sighing

River running

Wind and sun

your turn next

Harden and weather and burn

Take your time with me

I am here

Drip drop drip drop down

There is only time that carries onward

Carries the water

Carries the wind

Carry me

There is no stop

There is no stillness

There is only chiseling, carving

Watching silently from deep inside

The moon is the light on my face

A spotlight I create

Are you watching me?

Seeing me

I am only trying to be still

I am the statue you are the water

making me hard and smooth

Moon drops light bouncing

Water falling water falling

Drip drip drip drop down.

your tattoo

Drip drop drip drop drop

Drop

Are you dropping the ball

Did you stop doing what you were told to do

Drip drop drip drop

Rain

The sound of the rain

Dropping at your feet

Making you sink in the mud but rise up clean

Drip drop it

Let it fall

Let it crash

Don’t be afraid

Drip drop drip drop rain

Because now there is a rainbow

A glow

A flow

Drive into, drop it

Don’t look back at the floor at

The what if’s

The what was

The what should’s

Today is the day

Make haste

Make light make nothing out of rain and dirt and work and soul searching with no purpose but to do what you do. To drop what does not serve you. To drip your soul into what makes life pour for you

To create to grow

To sink to your knees to drink from the pond

To swim in the sea

To kiss the glaciers edge that receeds

And cry if you need

And scream if you need because you don’t know how to help

And I know it is only a drop only a spot only a wink only a feather on my lips and a whisper to the wind only a breath on the pane and an etch in a log

only your finger in the sand and then it all disappears and it never feels like it really did matter

But hear the thing because

Here is the thing

Your atoms matter or you wouldn’t be matter you are a star and there is only one place to start

Drip drip your small sacrifices

Your small words

Your tiny gestures that permeate through your heart and soul

And know

That that little drop fills the rivers

That that little drip drives a revolution

That your mark is a tattoo on this earth

only a beat on a drum

I’m a drum

I’m a string

I’m a tree

I’m a birdsong,

A small drop of rain in a raging sea

I’m only a star. A star. A star. A star.

Swirling and spinning

Cosmos collide

Quickly and jostling

Look to the sky

Shove me and push me I’ll explode into sight

I am made for this intricate flight

Bring me your wings

I’ll succumb to the wind

I’ll succumb to the cold

I’ll climb tip toe tip toe aboard

Tip toe. Tip toe through the silent night

Drop down your metallic tongue and we fly

I’m only a drop in the sea

Only a beat on a drum

Hurtle me fast

Hurtle me slow

I care not where we go

But fly

Empty bottles to fill with a song

I’m only that beat, that beat on the drum.

I will not succumb

My book will overflow

And flow and flow and flow

Leave me

Leave me to wake

I care not how long it takes

I will sing

I will swim

I will beat on my drum

Only a kiss half loved and a song half sung

I’m only a drop in the sea

Look to the sky, bring me your wings

Take me far

I’ll succumb to your flight

I’ll climb aboard

I’m but a drum

I’m but a string

I’m a tree, a birdsong, a drop of rain in a raging sea

I’m only a star. A star. A star. A star

sky to earth

I imagine

A camera pointed to the evening indigo sky

Clouds pillowed and roaming

Wild clouds without pattern

The last of the sun glints through the lower pale Wisps

Serenity

Scroll down with the camera

Get closer to where we reside

The land

The energy shift bubbles

Static

Shaken video

I can’t see properly

There’s too much

Breath in

Focus the view into a minute spot

Calm

Scroll in

An icicle

Smooth and hard against the clouds

Glass angel of the skies

It’s alive

It begins to bubble and crackle

A moment is all we had

It bursts

The sun beams through the ice

My vision unsteady

Scroll further down past the static

Breath in

Calm

Focus the view into a minute spot

Find the rock

Find the ground my feet stand upon

Soft snow settles around me

Stillness

Unwavering quiet

Close my eyes to this feeling

The earth holding me

Let your eyes fall

Away from what is above

The dreams, the past, the desires

Let your eyes fall away from what circles us

Let your eyes see only the stillness within

That is you, wild child

Feel only the stillness within

Your root into the earth

Let that rise through you

Let the stillness rise in you and be the sturdy rooted tree you were meant to be

And we breathe deep breaths in, and we sigh away the static and the space

To be still in our knowing and conviction

Be you, wild child.
