Watery musings

Watery  musings

In  my  cupped  palm 
 I  hold   the   colorless 
 in  seamless  steady  calm.
Allowing   drips   and   dribbles

descend   through  gaps  of  fingers
to   a  vessel not far off  below,
 meticulous  now  I  measure  distance,
 allowing   drips,  crying   Lo!  Lo!

By  the  time  drops  reached
Shiny  container,  it  tumbled  swift
to the  dismay of  watery bleached
running  to  the floors    adrift.

We  are  free, free, carefree  ever
None  can  store  for  ever, ever.
Liquids  flow  and  flow  far  and  far
On the  floor  far  and   near .
