I come and go
So what am I ?
I ebb and flow
So what am I ?
I bubble and froth
So what am I ?
I rage and crash
So what am I ?
I lay still and calm
So what am I ?
I glitter in the sun
So what am I ?
I lap at your shore
So what am I ?
I'm dark and grey
So what am I ?
Sometimes a beautiful blue
So what am I ?
I can hold you up
So what am I ?
I can pull you into my depth
So what am I ?
There is more beneath
So what am I ?
My surface hides so much
So what am I ?
You can see yourself in my
So what am I ?
reflection
So what am I ?
On my surface
So what am I ?
When I'm quiet and still
So what am I ?
I am movement
So what am I ?
The body you see is not me
So what am I ?
I'm neither here nor there
So what am I ?
Yet it is all me
So what am I ?
From the crest of a wave
So what am I ?
To the calm before the storm
So what am I ?
The whirlpool from no where
So what am I ?
Well I'm just here and there
So what am I ?
I am a
body of ceaseless apparently disorganised energy in a raging harmony a cacophony of
mindless noise
I am a
rage rapped in a blanket of endless naivety and a terrifying vision never still, never stopped
I am a
mind trapped in a whirling non defining series of interconnected colliding absences of time of space of the race forward and back, beyond outside, complete disguise of all that lays beneath this surface is necessarily confined, so as we can stay safe in all our apparent need to float upon a surface of our own design
I am a
I am a
So what am I ?
I am me
Just trying to be
A body of water that cannot be taken in a single cup nor taken, to be able to be against a single shore not found in my waves or silver green and blue, the twinkling on my surface is just passing through, its my ebb and flow, the continuous surging tide more affected by the moon than either you or I, just stand and stare from the shore, as this body of water comes and goes through this peculiarity that is consciousness's view, and all the time this water cannot be still but the view, the view, is still from the shore
The shore is not the water
The shore it not the water
The water is
The water is
The movement is
The movement
The
Movement
Ceaseless
Constant
Flow
I come and I go
From no where to somewhere
I come and I go
I go
I know
I can't stop
So
I
Go
The water is
The water is
Water
