the land and the water

the water falls to land
the land shapes to bowl
the land feels a cradle
does water feel a hole?

she must feel contained
why else make a stream?
designed to escape
how does it seem

to land who gives way
allows the wild flow
water pushes downward
he lets her go

toward the great union
the ocean deep and vast
stream turns to river
as land holds her fast

these two lovers
as they relate
locked in connection
a story, forever great

of her, wild water
of him, solid land
love displayed for all
in caress of sea and sand
