The stain and the light

the stain spreads, opaque then clear, the light shining through,
Twirling and tumbling, the light is viewed again
This joy thsi peace, then the stain covers all, this back and forth of recognition and covering.
Covering, seeping, light, then darkness, the muddy gray.
Looking like a war, but merely a tumble in the water, as the stain spreads, masking the ocean.
But the ocean is always here, present, and breathing.
Twirling and tumbling, the light is viewed again
This joy thsi peace, then the stain covers all, this back and forth of recognition and covering.
Covering, seeping, light, then darkness, the muddy gray.
Looking like a war, but merely a tumble in the water, as the stain spreads, masking the ocean.
But the ocean is always here, present, and breathing.

wonderful images, slow motion in my mind (like that video of the plastic bag in the wind tunnel, in American Beauty)
