WaterCarves Rock
Water carves rock Into the crevices and splits of stone Endurance holds with reliant support Expansion nods only in the forgiveness of sun-warmth. Holding a dense molecular rhythm. Rocks move from their own will That bespeaks an apparent stillness. Tenacious waters beckoning and sculpting Water carves throughout longtime A dark streaming that shivers past And finally knows its way, deepening Into the crevices and splits of stone.

Continuance
Pulsing into the rhythm of moving water Heart-beats in tune with the rocking of waves Which gently carves throughout time These solid old crags That have endured thrash of storms And night-time desperations Holding their own, these rocks Slowly eroding, lending their parts To the feeding of the waters.

Harmonic Encounter
Ancient rock meets This mountain stream A convergence of stillness and movement The view is intimate – a close up A portrait of rocks, water, grass blades rooted in sand A small dam – a moment Holding and pouring Before the next invitation to descend. Paulette Rochelle-Levy |
Rendezvous
The confrontation is predictable The waves moving land-ward Yet there is magic that happens When rock interrupts the wave’s tumult. At the moment of the meeting The crash and splash of now air-borne water Yes, yes – like a passionate kiss Of a hasty lover cascading ecstasy Effervescent, impetuous, flaunting A wind-whipped cape of silver sea-foam And then with a teasing tickle of tide Restlessly dances away.
