Tidal Rhythms

|
tidal rhythms course through my body
echoes of the ocean
of the living planet
an eternal ebb and flow
a breathing in and out
that goes deeper than my shallow breath
not just the air in my lungs
not just the sea-salt blood pumped by my heart
surging out through my arteries
and returning through veins
something much, much deeper
I sit still
and my crazy “I”
that nagging voice that demands its desires
flows out of me as I exhale
like the outgoing tide
gone
I breathe in
the energy of the earth
the ocean
the sun
the moon
the stars
and I am filled with light
with infinite peace
with patience
the noisy “I” is momentarily
quiet

Outside my window
01:21
|
|||
|
outside my window summer trees stand stunned
adorned by water droplets sparkling in the morning light
while joyous bird calls fill my house with song
a weaving spider keenly watches bees
hovering from one flower to the next
a vertical string of sarcophagi beads threaded through her web
after years of bucketed bathwater
the garden laughs
as rain resumes its gift
this time more insistent than the last
heavy foliage bows in gratitude
in a world suffused by liquid particles of golden light

Walking through
00:43
|
|||
|
Walking through a forest...
along a beach...
I see echoes of repeated patterns;
whispered shadows of ideals;
spirals, circles, lines, curves...
No two waves break with the same ripples or sound;
and no two flowers are identical;
Yet all are perfect.
