The Basin in Lincoln, NH



A small patient act, from that same sun above,

once took down a glacial giant.

A small patient act, from water long ago released,

bore through the granite that stood in her way.

A small patient act, from the tiniest grain of sand,

polished the inside of this ancient bowl.

A small patient act has led me to a place as old as time,

where with soft earth beneath my feet

I bare witness to water who does simultaneously create and destroy.
