The rock, like clay

The rock
Like clay
Tortured
By a
Toddler’s
Hand

Sometimes
In reflection
A stunning clarity

I try to remember
The slightest disturbance

I like a moody shore
A place with surprises
And some risk
The tide may catch you up
In some small sandy bay
If you’re not paying attention

I suppose that says a lot
About my life

As much as I love
A sunset
I love
Even more
The opportunity
To greet its return

I do not mourn
The passing of the sun
Because it is beautiful
And I know it will return

It is no different
With the cycle of life
And death
And rebirth

There’s a subtle light
When the sun breaks through
Over a stormy sea
Far in the distance

The burst of amber
Draws the eye
With its shameless
Brazen vibrance

Where sun and sea and land meet
Where the waves roll in
And break on rocky shores
Under the sun’s illuminating grace

I find the rhythm of being

I seek the road
Which takes me higher
Up to where the magic lives

And there take in
All that is
Spread out into infinity

I love the way
A daylight moon
Reminds me

There are stars
Beyond blue sky
Uncountable stars

And planets circling
Most of them, and
Some with moons like ours

Even the benefit of high vantage
May not reveal the road ahead

I travel the path before me
Accepting the unknown
