GOOD VIBRATIONS
Water Music
Prompt 26 of 52 of DEP/Water’s harmonies outdo even the Beach Boys’ or Handel’s
The Music –
of birds, shells, stars, epiphanies –
entrances me.
But water’s Harmonies
outdo even Handel’s or The Beach Boys,
whether the refrain –
a cappella or accompanied –
spills from the sky, a rim of rock,
the marble mouth of a god, fish, or cherub
or from the Surf’s rising and lessening
as instructed by the moon
before it rests, bequeathing
Its glittering glissando’s shadow
to the shore,
where indissoluble sand-happy castles of gratitude
keep the peace.
