Whitewater Vision by Barry Spacks

Like everyone else I've served my time
lying under the weight of a mountain,
breathing stones...yet always my blood,
like leveling water, knows where it's wanted.

Once I had a whitewater vision:
beneath the rage of the rapids I sensed
the undersound to the river's sound...
indistinguishable from silence.

Who am I? Not a solving...a seeing.
I view the storm through eyes of calm.
I speak to say
where the silence is.

On days when it seems the food for the journey
is clay, not bread, and the spirit famished,
as dusk transfigures everything
I pause, near silence: listening.
