Level

Water
Movement, swish swash
Gentle force, flow
Colorless contemplation of matter,
Invisibility
Containment
Surfaces make the stablest
Negotiations with gravity
Enough to level the pyramids
Millennia still standing
In everything and pulled
Pulled toward the moon
Pulled toward the sun
Pulled toward the center of the ever loving Earth.

We gently bob on our surface
Flinking easily on the plane where we belong
Water and gravity
Centering the place we occupy in an ever present,
Larger than thought universe
Almost invisible to us

When we forget who we are
When we don’t know where we belong
Water might show us home.
