Once I was a big drop of water
I was in the desert
I wasn't high
Wasn't high demand
Saw you turn, saw you turned, turned away
Water came down, hit the dry ground
Lost all the facts, slipped through the cracks
Spread around
Under and down
Down through the ground
Carry on, now beyond
Past where all the dancing rained like thunder
After laughter and music, different sounds
To where the thunder became something
Like the pulsing of the flowers
Which is something like but nothing
Like the pulsing of the hours
But the hour was on time because I slipped into a flower
Recalled the time to climb the line
A honeysuckle tower
I was water brought to lifted leaves
Of daffodils and daily leaves
Drank into the grace of trees
The aspens like the willows weep
They hung so low
They touched below
The surface of
A still puddle
Did I behold
Reflection told
Looking back at me
The eyes of my body
So I jumped in
Back into my skin
And sang this song
Of where I'd been
Once I was a big drop of water
I spread around and became part of many living in the land
Saw you turned, when I turned, turned away
In the still, in the still water
And we're still water
