Water's Prayer - James Bertolino
Leafless aspens groom
the iced breeze, while below
a brook descends the mountain
with its musical story, remembering
the serenity of sky, and lightening's clear passion.
Water knows what is far will be near.
Water says choose that which closes distance,
choose touch. When snow falls,
and a green mystery is carried
by all that moves,
choose love.
