LESSONS IN FLOATING
She walks in water.
Glides like a miracle,
breaks away
from her portable chair
(no luggage needed on this journey)
and steps into aqua cloud.
She gives me no words
yet tells me more
than I could ever learn
from philosophers,
preachers or poets.
Her bent body
stands proud,
tight joints
loose and free
in the warm flow.
She walks in water
and I imagine I am flying.
It is her miracle.
I am only learning.
