Naiade

Formless, dark, the faceless deep

Unconscious of its swell

Before dry land sculpted

Solid banks, definitions

Shaping currents, commerce, Time

Malleable and responsive in wet gratitude

For land to push against,

Hope of sound and sense in

The ceaseless caress of water

Coursing to the limits of its shore.
