only for the truth."

Simple
by steven baliko

 

 

Don't you believe that water is wet,

wet in every season, every certain circumstance.

Not only wet on dismal, dreary days

but wet when the pond has been

freed from stoic ice and insects

buzz in the blazing sky. Wet, trickling

down alpine slopes and the knoll

just beyond our house-wet for you

to taste, to touch. Wetness rains

from blistering thunder clouds-invading

every inch...whether you believe

or not. Wet depth awaits beneath toe-

tested waters and every day is summer

wanting to be cooled deep, deep uncharted

ripples soothing sheen, deep blue-green.

 

Play and laugh and sing

wet lips from the spring,

tickle and gallop and wink

water just is...take a drink.

 

Giggles and gurgles, sighs and wind swept skies

press upon the glass,

whispering...

"believe."
