POETRY MONDAY

Faces of Water
by Lou Ella Hickman             i

water can be a gracious hostess
who makes room    then
let’s me slip into her warmth

            ii

water surges up in a dream
where I flounder…
deeper…
down into her smothering darkness

            iii

water covers this bed of earth
with blankets of sea

          iv

water
in love with the moon
energy of the tides          
water
falls
singing
