Known

I should have known it would come

  big dreams hidden in shadow

Waking with a faint knowing

  land, free, animals, people

Then the rhythms 

  begin from within

Ancient and old

  ever in the flow of water

Poured out and coming clean

  a wish for each one 

Pouring it's way 

  through the land

What have we done

  made a waste

Such beauty and talk

  if we would only listen

Observe what plays within

  around and see life

Life giving itself

  one to another

An offering of water

  to encounter the sacred

Not to desecrate

  not to turn our backs

To run in its cleansing

  all within, without

Knowing we can't replace 

  one precious drop
