Wind and Water Cleave and Cleave

..
We know that wind is spirit life. The wind
Is God in symbol, and the angels, too,
And demons, angels with God’s demons twinned.
Continuous with breath we breathe in, new
With every inhalation, wind is all
Around our muscles and within. There’s no
Escaping. Water is a type, a scrawl
Like life, is bright, is flowing, swift and slow.
It flows according to its passive will
While active. Water also is a drop
Of dew that goes. Transparent dewdrops spill
And leave no trace. The soul comes to a stop.
..Eternity is clean like these. Though brief
….The wind and dew live long like clearest grief.
