[Poetry] Two poems by Lori Zybala


Confluence


Framing landscape, rocky existence

Bodies of water, twisting ~ turning

Path of direction known


Single channel, controlled speed

Moving current, low need


Downstream, living particles travel

Cellular life altered

Man’s destruction unravels


Geological entity

Earths natural release


Tossing, churning

Raw matter unfolding at the crease


Intimate small rivers

Growing, cutting in size and speed


Sacred land boundaries

Or political world greed?


Consumption, over abundance

Greed ramped across the land


Disturbing the earth’s atmosphere

Earth altered by man’s hand


Modifier of the earth’s atmosphere

Fundamental flow


Element connectedness

Environmental blow


Gathering effortlessly

Direction embraced by the other


Two rivers simultaneously conflux

And peacefully join together





Luciferous Flow


Currents gently flowing

Hugging the rivers bend


A rippling ring radiating outward

Redistributing the suns heat


Specular reflection, light display

Shimmers across the waters surface


Beautiful images, mirror their exhibit

Reaming open to human interpretation


Delicate white feathers, silently sail

Secret vessels through the night


Careless and free

Securing a perfect destination


~~


Water striders

Propulsion in precise formation


Their energy electric

Walking the waters surface


Shades of green

Simultaneous in suns appearance


Darkness infiltrates dramatically

Cool shade penetrates


Cicadas chanting, clicking relief

Lofty from the treetop’s


Uniquely amplifying

Pitching a distinctive song


The calm water below

Patiently waits in silence


Insightful, circulatory timing

Precious blue heart of the earth
