Water

 After Maria Negroni’s the Baby
 
Power is in nonviolence, nonresistance.  
Water gives, and takes  
in the tides without strife,
allowing silent strength to permeate,  
take shape in reception.
Build, and break.
 
I am Water.  
When you dig deep you find me.  
You will always find me.
 
Mamma, stand down,
your baby is well.
He is curious, keen and lively;  
his desires actualized,
he bathes in our world’s treasures.  
His competence leans into your scriptures,  
resides blessed among  
the many structures nature bears;
he remembers everything.
 
Woman, build courage,  
allow me to guide you  
graciously to your spoils,
enwrapped in Water,  
draped in might: assent.
Then wait.
 
Your babies will always come back with the tides.
Author's Note
For Comp. Listen, water brings a message, inspired by Maria negroni's The Baby,
I wrote this about a year ago, and thought might fit right into this comp, never shared on this site until now.
