born of raindrops,
of rushing rivers,
caresses the land.
God's other world.
Not always
in harmony with its silent depths
but beautiful in
its secret dissonance.
A world of rainbow-dipped
creatures
performing an
underwater ballet
in ever-moving liquid motion.
A jete
pas de bourree
pas de deux
God's
underwater ballet
Known
but to those who
break through
earth's watery cocoon
to reach its noiseless depths.
