The Importance of a Simile

We fight the spinning of the globe 
and similes link life together 
like a wave, like a bird over waves 
like the wind lifting a bird over waves 
like feathers in the wind 
lifting a bird over waves 
like waves ebbing feathers 
blown by the wind 
lifting a bird over waves.
Surely we can weave enough 
to show each other 
the secret reasons 
we can reason in secret.
