Fire Water

Mutley Ravishes



A sun ray

Riding a dragon

Wave

Of effort-

-less is more

Alive

    Images sparkle on this sea where waves are transparent and the deep is dark. Nice write

    • Mutley Ravishes

      Those sparkles on the surface of the sea!

      • sorenbarrett

        Not all that sparkles are diamonds

        Love the split-union of meaning in effort- -less is more!

        • Mutley Ravishes

          Split-union? Love it!

          • arqios

            Almost like the yeah-nah dynamic in some ways🤩

            You've revised the original meaning? Back in the day it signified liquor.

            • Mutley Ravishes

              Missy, I don`t understand.

              • Cheeky Missy

                Fire water was originally another word for liquor.

                • Mutley Ravishes

                  Ah yes. Whiskey! Thanks.

                  There’s a damn playful energy here, with the sun ray riding the “dragon wave” like a tiny piece of light catching something enormous. “Effort-less is more” gives the little poem its wink—it turns the image into a compact meditation on simply being alive.

                    Thanks, Thomas for your beautiful take on the rhyme!

                    What a vivid little burst, my friend. The movement feels wild, yet the central paradox brings it into a place of complete surrender. Brief, playful, and cleverly constructed. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

                      Got inspired after watching a film/documentary on the surfer (amongst other things) Gerry Lopez, called "The YIn and Yang of Gerry Lopez." Well worth a look if you`ve the time and inclination, Tristan.
