water, once again
ripples into my dreams
in nightmare puddles and ocean fantasies
i want to be lost in the landscape
and mesmerized by beings far beyond me
the diversity of an ecosystem, both inside and out,
dwarfs my whining figure
as i celebrate my smallness
for in feeling my smallness
i open to a grand oasis
that reduces me to a diamond speck of sand amidst an infinity of granularity
small in the body, but big in the untethered mind of awareness
i sweep through all stories told in time
to touch the variety of sacred expression
nowhere is a miracle absent
from ferocious beginnings
our wildness becomes tamed by genius alone
not by the confines of self-forced control
but by the voluntary willingness of abiding participation
i will seek to master this short window of opportunity--
caring not about failure nor about mistakes made by trying
as a wave breaks on the surface, so too will this chance die
and be re-born again
until the eternal cycle is satisfied. |

This is a very deep poem, and I especially like the first three verses, above. |
