by Maíra Fernandes de Melo

To honor the universe in a drop of water
The great mother of Life
caring the ancient mysteries 
of flowing. 

Coming from the Highnesses
Sprouting from the Depths
in springs of light 
and beauty

Knowing 
how to dance with every obstacle
how to dress in a new shape
how to breathe as a new form
The wisdom to be lull in the midst
of hardest fires

Stillwater or thunderstorm  
– a tiny crystal 

To learn from your sound when the tide is rising
To learn from your warmth as the sangha river
