Connexions

I think I am a central figure
standing alone
But when this is my thought
I ignore my connections.

Life is like a complex tapestry
of thread
interweaving
creating more and more
intricate patterns.

The more care, focus, and thought
that is entered into this picture
the more Illuminating the result.

When I truly remember,
that I am a strand of colour
woven into the picture
and not the Weaver.
Then, will I remember my connections
and see how many threads
connect me to others
As a family tree,
With limbs that reach back into
Eternity.

Then, as a spider, tentatively testing
the threads of his web
I would carefully test the line.

I will wait to see who was aware
of this subtle vibration.
Not all will hear it
for many are still asleep.
But some will.

And when I understand
that I cannot be alone
I will be happy to be a single
strand of colour

In the immense Tapestry of Life..

A state of Grace

In the breath of meditation
I find a state of grace
As I tune into the station
And enter the sacred space.

Seagulls surf the currents of air
Soaring, then circling, the sky,
Crying out to all who'd hear
Why walk? When you can fly!

Track walkers nod benignly
Some beaming their Dolphin smiles
A sailboat glides with liquid ease
streaming through the miles

The Oceans rhythms rock my soul
the salty breeze sweeps doubt away,
Here is now, this moment whole
A place I wish to stay.

I take this morning home with me
as I heave a blissful sigh
Nature whispers..'til we meet again'
In truth, its not goodbye..
