Feelings And Love 21 June 2009 Poem by Margaret Alice

Masaru Emoto ‘The Secret Life of Water’ lives
next to my bed, every night I look at photos of
geometric water crystals formed when words -
You Are Beautiful – Innocence - Thank You
in Tagalog and Japanese - Marital Love -
are pasted on water containers

Staring at the beautiful crystals formed when
music was played to water before crystallised;
Wagner’s Ride of the Valkyries, Schubert’s
Ave Maria, Mendelssohn’s Wedding March,
Edelweiss and Amazing Grace, wishing I
knew what Whispering Hope

Langenhoven’s Lullaby for Liefstetjie and Die
Lorelei, Ich weiss nicht was soll es bedeuten
would have looked like, looking intently at
the hollow, suffocating image formed by
the word Hate – and the crocodile eye
resulting from September 11,2001

Always delighting in the idea that should human
language disappear, the language of water
crystals will enable consciousness to
converse about feelings and love...
