Falling

I tumble
Into an unknown
Wrapped within
A cacophony
Of confusion

Resist
And be dashed against
The rocks

Let go
Allow the chaos
To coalesce

I rejoin
Resolving flow
Into the known

The afterglow of stormy weather
Sky and sea a dusky amber
Water gently rippled

A deep breath
In place and time

Crossing

From what was
To what will be

From the holding on
Returning
To the letting go

I have made myself
A collection of angles and hard lines
A manifestation of steely pride

Still the shadow of nature
Falls upon me
With her supple forms
Her irregular grace

So I quiet the urge for being
Let her sunshine warm me
And become the bough
Blowing in the wind

I dig down deep
Set roots
Hold fast
Let the world
Pass me by
Secure, safe
Autonomous

I breathe
Deeply
Evenly
Imagining

A lattice
Of light
Into which
My darkness

Falls

The detritus
Which washes up
On my shore

I wonder at it
Why it won’t just
Wash away

Instead, oh instead
It just piles up
Detritus

There are places of history
We maintain
Beyond their usefulness
Because we want to hold onto the past

There are places of the past
We let go
To lie fallow and go to ground
Because we no longer need them

Coiled
Clenched
Gripping

Breath
Breath

Breathe

Breathing
