Riverbed Gently Rocks

le Jardin, 1962, by Max Ernst


I sleep
mother earth's womb
naked submerged blue water
nurtured, loved, spiritual growth
I thirst

I dream
ripples of hope
riverbed gently rocks
vision take root within my soul
I stir

I wake
flowing heartbeat
embracing wondrous love
river eternal energy
I live

  6. Like the progression you took
    Here at your nook
    From sleep and dream
    To alive and in loves stream
    Way to be
    At your blue sea
