Flood Rivers Awash Poem by Terence George Craddock

flood rivers awash so many images
flood mindscape with multiple themes
within chaos flood dominant theme

the flowing river like life
with horizons diverse distant
mystical metaphysical geometrical

merging horizon earth sky
depths of life mystery as deep
as time shape tempered oceans

life as kinetic surface realities
far shores waves which rock
or embrace to ripple reassure

or test determination
of mind senses limb
vessels are often filled

with only that which is sought
the realm of earth or water
we may dive through physically

accept in experience or meditation
test embodied in storm swim
or manipulate as technological

control harnessed exploited
abused or converted to new levels
of balance or concepts of usage

all of which may
have unexpected outcomes
in harnessed transformation
