I want to be like water giving life to the earth,
its creatures and beyond.
Water can be so very calming.
The movement slow but purposeful.
It flows from one point to the next.
Giving what it can, while slowly changing shape.
When there is chaos within me I take to the waters edge.
I stare deeply into its depths, taking in the movement.
Focusing on the slow ebb back and forth.
The sight calming my beating heart.
I have done this many times before in my darkest days.
But what I never noticed was the water streaming down my face.
As I cried at the waters edge, thinking of you.
