But it was not until
I met the Buddha on the road
That I began to heal
Ever changing
Never changing
Just like me
Nature’s harmony
Of shade and tone and texture
The way the gull finds the air
Which lifts him into the sky
The foamy leading edge
Of the wave lapping at my feet
Soft light through a rain-spattered window
With a good book and a cozy couch
Shadow event
Captured in light
Held in coloured silver
On fading film
Though…
Every now and again
I catch one
A long glorious ride
Exhilaration
Exultation
Delightful experience
All the way to shore
Always reaching
Heaven bound
Leave my feet
Back on the ground
Flights of fancy
In the sky
Hug the Earth
And breathe a sigh
A time before anything lived
And the closest thing to life
Were molecules
Which looked like
The kinda things
You built life with
Which carries me
Throughout the day
Until the amber
Comes again
