The healing power of water

the urge to be close to water

to wade in and swirl

and to be taken

to shores far beyond

the urge to be embraced by water

to feel its comings and goings

to be one with the flow
moving through my body

the river bank

the big Mother Ship

the lapping sound 

of the source

the sea of the Northern Land

giant waves thundering towards 

the beach - skidding pebbles 

like shooting missiles

but I stand

I withstand

I go with

I am

the urge to be close 

to be embraced

by the source

there is healing in that
