“I am Running Water”

“What are you doing?” Lea Ann said.

“I’m running water.” says I.

 

I am life

Twisting and turning

I mold

I form

I rage with white fury

Ever persistent

I conquer

I rescind

I expand

I occupy

Smooth, sleek

I humble

I cleanse

I anoint

I provide

I intrigue

I amaze

I vary

What are you doing?

I’m running water, I am running water.

Is it wrong to perceive myself in these ways?

Metaphorically , simile, metaphysically. Sitting at Pedernales State Park, Tx on Spy Kids 2. Using another days comment to Lea Ann. The act of “I’m running water” stunned me as I spoke it. I was actually running water from the fridge, which is a waste, but a profound comment if looked a from another perspective. It’s easy to sit and look at the water flow by and see it’s strength. Do we possess all and more of something as grand.

I HAVE POWER. I am running water, I am running water.

It’s easy to see what I’m doing

I’m flowing

I’m going

I guess someday I’ll make it to the ocean

Cleansed of sin, through the hills

My soul…Here I go…

I can’t speak tonight Pedernales falls.

About ABSTRACT KING

I'm originally from a small town in Central Texas, Lampasas. In the early stages writing was often spurred by some emotional event. What is currently on the Abstract King website is "the tip of the iceberg" so to speak. A pile of indecipherable hand written journals, thousands of photos, and hundreds of hours of video have sat collecting dust in storage over the years. Wondering about the effects fire, flood, or death would have on this massive amount of "me", drove me to create something more permanent. So, I began digitizing all the written words, editing, and sharing pieces with friends. The site is an extension of the positive feedback and intrinsic value I have received since. For the sake of creation, I put it out there for you. If you have an emotional response along the paths in my kingdom, then that's a bonus!
