WRITERS ABROAD MAGAZINE: THE THIRD SPACE
TUMBLING WATER
BY Richard Miller
A small spring laughs over a sharp
descent. Collects
in a pool, its
energy spent.
Trickles on, more slowly, to meet
the sea, to rise
as vapour, head
landward with glee.
To fall as rain to fulfil its
intent - to laugh
again over -
a sharp descent.
