Artwork by M. C. Escher.
arriving last night as rain
we puddle on this empty lot
nestled in these treaded ruts
resting before our homeward journey
when we’ll rejoin earth’s waters
evaporating skyward
penetrating the earth
we are tenacious, persistent
always seeking our natural level
breaking beyond futile bounds
returning to our azure mother – the sea

DAY 17
This is an excellent analogy, beautifully described. I spend a good deal of time in my youth gazing at that Escher painting, marvelling at the perspective. Great choice!
Thank you Kerry, very kind words. I love Escher’s work, turning blended perspevtives into magic.
This is beyond beautiful! 🙂 I love the painting you chose to go with it!
Thank you Sanaa, very much! Yes, Escher is brilliant… :-)0
I have always felt the pull of the sea. It is where I want my ashes scattered. Bonus points for using an Escher!
Life supposedly emerged from the sea, so ashes to the sea seems appropriate Sara. I am drawn to any and all natural forms of water – rivers, lakes, oceans all pull me like a magnet. When I used to be able to hike, it was almost always adjacent water, or water would be my destination. The photo I have with my “Hoping To Fly” dVerse Open Link post, of Indian Beach, shows the big rocks in the foreground, upon which I would climb and sit for hours, to write or meditate. Health no longer permits me to do so, but I LOVED those days on my rocks! 🙂
