"Water is my soul"

The Know of the Flow Water and life are one Each has its rhythms and insists On these as it wears away what resists The know of the flow as it goes to show Though I go I am not alone As everything turns around And as I circumnavigate Life is a dangerous way to grow Where stone breaks water ceaselessly But I come to know the flow as I go Coming and showing and going and shown What I can see of eternity And I come to know the go of the flow Where water breaks stone finally I ride the tide of being me Where others who tried were drowned Alongside others or beside Myself between one and the other side Arriving as I do here To be departing there Between the going and coming tide Though I am ice in the sun Written on water to disappear Melting upstream like salmon do Life will do as it does and has done Proving me as time has proven true As in its rhythms life insists To be as it transforms who resists Who learns the hard way how Or the easy way how not to The beating heart of destiny The sure and steady breath Of life to make the best of me Written on water and found To leave to time the rest of me One step ahead of death One step is all it takes One heartbeat and one breath between Life makes its rhythms known In living synchronicity In everyone embrace makes It always so it is never too late Tuning the turnings of everywhere As everyone turns around To the meaning of what things mean This is the know of the flow Water is my soul Stephanos stone by stone A scapegoat for the sin of fear Martyred to eternity Was broken to be made strong Where water breaks stone finally Shattered to shards through the mirror Transcending hate to another state Living right through dying wrong Past not to be to be Forever becoming now Molecules made whole Into this form you see From this side I see clearer Translated into grace I know the flow I go along And I am not alone Water is my soul I close my eyes and open to be In sight of the unseen As water knows even as it flows In its rhythms to the sea Undoing what stone has done What stone resisting also knows As water carves its canyon Stone by stone Till it breaks Water and life are one This is the know of the flow +Steven Curtis Lance Copyright MMX
