What if...

to appear
“deaf”, unintelligent,
unable to speak
is to be so wise

the water in the River
can speak clearly
and the blade of grass
can see your Innermost
Being

As you can see the River in you
and you in the River,
And you and the River can see
the Seed of the seed
that brought the grass to be

And the secret the grass has to share
of its Ancient beginnings
And the walk it took
to be here in your hand
And look into your Eye,
Or Rest beneath your feet

Rests you
in your Ancient Beginnings

And without a word, you, the River,
And the grass share the most Original
Conversation your being can hold.
