Reflection

Water does not cling to form.

It arrives,

and the world decides the shape.

A river in motion,

stillness in a bowl,

mist rising quietly from morning ground.

It falls without fear,

breaks on stone,

then gathers itself again.

No memory of the last shape,

no worry for the next

only the soft certainty

that whatever holds it

for a moment

cannot keep it forever
