the big splash
after the rain stopped
and water receded
Noah drove his big clunky handmade boat onto land
That was there all along. beneath the gathered waters
Again on land
on what God calls earth
I wonder,
did Noah miss the simplicity of the forever waters
did he miss the big splash?
the great rocking seas?
I wonder if he was not just a little disappointed
To get back to dry land life
back to earth
as God would say
Feeding the animals
House hunting
Moving rocks
Paying rent
Taxes
Shopping for kid's shoes
I wonder if he missed
His 40 days
riding the big splash
riding the big swells
waiting for the olive branch
waiting for the dove
His 40 nights
of endless stars
an ever changing moon
forever waves
rocking
rocking
rocking
rocking his children to sleep
