SurVision Magazine / John C. Mannone

And I heard the voice of many waters

Does the ocean, vast and blue,
swallow the river?

Does the mighty river drown
the mountain stream?

Does the mountain laugh
at all the tears falling
from the clouds?

The ocean restores the sky.

My flesh is water,
my heart, rain.
