What’s neither dry nor frozen hard
Makes circles red with bliss
And green takes form to guide and guard
Metamorphosis.
Linked to Jilly’s 28 Days of Unreason Day 18 regarding Jim Harrison’s quote preferring to move water than ice.
Linked also to Jilly’s August Challenge. Consider this the first 4 lines of a 8 line common meter poem.

It came back to water.. Hmm.. It’s keen observation.. Green taking form and then guiding and guarding the flow.. A beautiful painting..

Without flowing water none of that would happen. Perhaps without a lot of other things as well. Thank you!
