Life in the Aquarium

underneath i walk to the bridge 
walking down
 i reach the sky

with every star that falls,
   a new one rises

break through 
  go down 
beyond
walk until 
   you can see 
     the dawn

rake in the life 
  that wakes you in the morn
call it what you want –
  the open door

time the day and feel the wave
sit and sigh and wonder why
go back through and take your time

wash away your tears of time
    and look at what you find:
    static electricity

in the calm of the universe
the dawn breaks through
