It lays dormant
Mute
Hidden beneath granite, earth and stone.
Invisible
It is secretive and scalding
But Father Time erodes the passages also in secret.
He is always exacting and precise
Eroding a path to freedom
At first it starts as a gentle spring bubbling to the surface
Little hot tears trembling over lids
(Water always finds a way)
As a single tear drops heavy and hot
A sudden eruption bursts from below
It has at last escaped
It shoots out with a ferocity and rage that was hidden for Millenia
AT LAST!!!! It screams
It douses everything
The valve at last released
It screams as it escapes
There is nothing to be done about it.
Once it is freed, it shall never return to to its prison
Instead it will flow naturally and gently
unhidden and free upon the earth
Under the sun for all to see and to partake
Freedom to flow
Freedom to exist and heal and restore others ……because freedom for oneself is sustenance for all.
