Decision

It's difficult not to get wet when you're in the path of
pouring water,
yet I've known someone who decided
against the
heart.
What a surprise this was.
To stand not against but up to
everything you know and have the strength to
sense what carries on beyond that
decision.
I know water, and have swum every current and cross
that flows.
Is our decision real?
If I don't see it in the water's way
how would I know?

This is something that stops and thinks at the tectonic
edge.
If we love, does fire just below
know?
From where is the fire?

I have searched everywhere and
found you
yet you have not wanted to be found.

Well, water will pour down,
perfecting you body, no matter how
ignorantly I seek your
heart.

But hear, or feel, for a moment
how the thunder of inescapability
roars into us.
