when you give your self to water
you may float
be held
let your own holding fall
or you may fight against freedom
to keep your permeable soul untouched
eventually you will lose control
as you move into spirals and fluid forms
elemental memories will surface
from within
or beyond
but you may resist the movement
impose your own practiced structure and norm
eventually you will let go
when you naturally move
your body may break open
releasing conditionings, pacts, identities
laugher, anger, longings
but you may stop
and step out of this pool of unbecoming
or you may stay afloat to immerse into the greater flow
there’s more to this journey
yet sooner or later
you will be seduced
to surrender
