I am a creature
Of my own thoughts
Of my own will
Of my own choice
Of my own thoughts
Of my own will
Of my own choice
Or so I think
Reminded by
The tides of seas
The tides of light
As moon circles I
As I circle sun
Not choice
Nor fate
All that is
Circles round
In ebb and flood
Life and death
Love and loss
Dream and wake
Have and want
While within
Urges deep and dark
Like sun and moon
Driving tides
I barely know
Until I stop
Let go thought
Turn the tide
Breathe in
Breathe out
I listen for
The gentle waves
With closed eyes
I see the light
In the peace
of humble grace
Glimpse the core
Where no tides flow
