Clear Waters

we are rivers
and oceans
and lakes
and sometimes
we forget
that to create
we must let go
and let the tides
carry us
where we were meant to go.

the current knows
what we try to hide
it moves us
through the stillness

and brings to the surface
our own murky resistance
until we surrender
to the flow

to be shaped
by the tides
that become

the erosion of our fears

and the moulding

of our clarity
