Once I was a big drop of water

I was in the desert

I was in high

Was in high demand

Saw you turn, saw you turn, turn away

Water came down, hit the dry ground

Lost all the facts, slipped through the cracks

Spread around

Under and down

Down through the ground

Carry on, now beyond

Past where all the dancing rained like thunder

After laughter and music, different sounds

To where the thunder became something

Like the pulsing of the flowers

Which is something like the nothing

Like the pulsing like the hours

But the hour was on time because I slipped into a flower

Recalled the time to climb the line

A honeysuckle tower

I was water brought to lifted leaves

Of daffodils and daily leaves

Drank into the grace of trees

The aspens like the willows weep

It hung so low

It touched below

The surface of

A still puddle

Did I behold

Reflection told

Looking back at me

The eyes of my body

So I jumped in

Back into my skin

And sang this song

Of where I'd been

Once I was a big drop of water

I spread around and became part of many living in the land

Saw you turn when I turned, turned away

In the still, in the still water

And we're still water
