To find the center
Of all that is
All that was
All that will be
Of all that is
All that was
All that will be
I like the ocean best
A high overlook
With a hard onshore wind
Driving the breakers
Far onto shore
The ocean
Vast reservoir of wisdom
Speaks with the crash and whisper
Of water roiling on sand and rock
The wind
Its caress
Tousles my hair
Penetrates my being
I scan the world
The vast shimmering surface
The mountains and Islands
The white foam
Where land dances with sea
Then quiet my mind
Listen for the words
The breakers always bring
Change ~ ever changing
The same ~ always the same
When those words leave my mind
With no more thoughts to follow
I am peace
I am one
With everything
