Water Damage

Clouds sat down upon my head blackening the day
great water pouches opened, cold rain poured silver streams
pebbled streets ran with water blackening in the cold wet
glittering and shining in early evening dusk
cast iron brown drains open to loud trickles and drips
leaves scraped away from slotted openings in asphalt and cement
Water, the stuff and staff of life, 

flows around and through our world
within and without our physical bodies, 
while spirit permeates heart and soul, 

traveling out and around us.

Blocked with sodden leaves or saltcrusted silty snow
water pools and damages searching out and creating new openings 
maintaining flow, building up energy, pushing forward as though a living being
where are the openings within us? 
cell walls, tissue and skin breathe fluid in and out.
what blocks to flowing water and spirit within are present?
emotions, like leaves and silt, pile up against one another
what can be damaged within us by pooled and blocked water and spirit?

Spirit, like water, will find an opening no matter how tiny

Does the force of spirit damage and destroy or
does the force of spirit build and grow energy?

“The spirit finds a way to be born.

Instinct seeks for ways to survive.”
