In "Flowing Water," the speaker imagines being a body of water and speaks from inside that identity. The opening lines picture a landscape where old greens, greys and browns sit beneath moving blues and strong reds, and the speaker says they want to be "one with the water." The water is also described like a body: it runs "throughout my veins," and the land holds it in gently, the way skin holds a person in.
The speaker feels a mix of longing and openness. Again and again they say "I wish," hoping people will admire their cool, deep beauty and see themselves reflected there. The last lines turn into an invitation: "Within you, see me / Within me, see you." The speaker seems to want a shared connection between the self and everyone else, much as a surface reflects whoever looks into it. The mood is calm, quiet and hopeful, ending on the wish to "find solice," which is peace.
