I saw the clouds
Just hang there a moment
As though there could be no end
To their love. They
Returned to the rivers
In formless drops of life.
All the rivulets and
Damming machines could not
Stop her ascension to beauty.

I saw my existence
Just hang there a moment
As though the end was near.
I watched the clouds form
On the ground in streams.
Even though sometimes it seems
My droplet of life is
Formless in the transient
World, I would not let man
Stop her ascension to beauty.

Dawn then came in
Her red glory. Mars
Stood watch. The
Reddish glow reminded
Him of battles fought
And lessons taught.

The new day then came
Bearing passions swept away
I must face the battles along the way,
My existence lent to me day by day.
I saw Proteus arising from
The sea; He swept me away
And bound my spirit with
Waves of transformation.
