The miracle of becoming

All the days gone
and those yet to come

years upon years 
centuries
of memory, yet

surprise still awaits
at every instant
to realise,
you're still alive

and the body still moves on
as always 

unexpected dreams and grief
an unending whirlpool 
of change

in a wink of the eye
unsettling, inventing
changing, becoming

like all the rest, like you 
and me
who were, who are, who will be.

Rain

Rain

do you recognise it
from your past?

as your melted glacier?
your swollen sea?

coming down from her exile
up in the heavens
removed from her history

coming down at once now
to strike you
and soothe your body.
