Water Prayer
to Dylan, Son of the Sea
Seagulls and restless rooks
challenge the wind
on this winter morning.
Under a pearl sky
the waves sing the rising sun –
the first glimpse of light on the horizon
fades too soon.
Here and now
Dylan’s words resound:
The waters of the heart
push in their tides…*
And from the ancient cliff
I pause and listen to
the voice of the sea:
a water prayer
that softly evaporates
among the fleeing clouds.
*from: Light breaks where no sun shines
