To my release
Beyond horizons
Uncharted
Possibility
Gleams
Beyond horizons
Uncharted
Possibility
Gleams
Quiescent mind
Blood rhythms
Salt air rendered
Tide pungent
Ocean whispers
Sibilant
On the shoreline
Shhhh
Shhhhhh
Shhh
Shhhhhhhhh
Bright as the nearest star
Steady as the lighthouse beam
Vast as the ocean
Persistent as the waves
Breaking on the enduring rock
Sometimes a caress
A lullaby sussurus
Sometimes a storm
A tempest of ecstacy
Circle
Unbroken
The round
Complete
Then round
And round
And round
Again
Until I step
Upon a path
Some may say
Leads me astray
Here am I
On the cusp of the sky
While far below
Rivers and life
In endless flow
Reminding myself
Of the importance
Of even one small voice
In the tide of events
Like the butterfly
In Beijing
I flutter
Back down to the valley
Where I ride the flow
Singing
From the depth of my soul
Existence set
In time and place
Yet all at once
I’m every where
I’m every thing
I’m not at all
To be
And not
To be
Here I stand
On this thin edge
Of the cusp
Between darkness and the light
Witness to
An extraordinary beauty
From the black
My spirit rose
Found the path
Where current flows
The energy
Connects us all
And me to me
The deepest part
I come to know
In violet light
Is bathed
I remind myself
The darkness is always present
Even in the brightest light
Its balance is available
I remind myself
The light is not too bright
Rather my eyes remain
Accustomed to the darkness
