Liquidity

california koans

 

the sun rose

 

and caught its fall

 

a dewdrop slipping

 

into the glossy stream

 

its soft note unheard

 

its ripple soon erased

 

the grace of nature

 

liquid ~

"The sun rose/ and caught it's fall"-- strong contrasting images between "rose" and "fall". Dawn-- a moment of clarity or an enlightened moment. What speaks the loudest in the koan is that the "soft note" is "unheard" and the lasting ripples of the koan are that "the ripple" is "soon erased". The "grace of nature"-- what smoothes everything over in nature or makes it always work out is that it's "liquid". I also enjoyed the cylcic quality as well-- a very fluid poem. Liquidity indeed.

Beautiful vision of the movement of water, silent, there and always on the move.
