Together
At the edge of land the sand releases
back to the sea to be reborn
Oh to be one tiny grain tumbling into endless re-
union, pulled effortlessly back into the tide
waiting to let go. To feel a full surrender
to trust knowing unity awaits
after the pure ecstatic rush of release
Oh to be birthed, over and over
by love as day melts into night
For Sue Vincent’s #writephoto prompt #together
Peace arrives upon the horizon of stillness
and the slow letting go fades into the night
We are creatures of the moon and the sun
howling through the winds and the rain
lashing at fears often unfound
we seek the light as though it were
illusive. Stretching our filaments in surrender
the body breaks open to become the sky
The mind, woven in wonder gives way
to the passage. And the voice, that howling
gnashing voice screeching to be heard
becomes the wind. And you
and I, we become the one
crimson wrapping gold
and everything in between
our ocean of light softly surging
and collapsing into the fold
we rock to the music of stars
and find that we were never
forgotten
For Sue Vincent’s #writephoto prompt #Daybreak.
You stand upon the threshold of self
when the eyes outside look inward
past the outer and all its beauty and decay
Light plays tricks with shadows until
they are explored through the pathways
of your own labyrinth, discovering you
are not a cave of darkness, hiding
You are light itself. One golden strand
without an end or a beginning weaves you whole
You
may begin outside, but you will always come back
to the center, pulsing the light that is you
through the body that would hold
Close your eyes and forget this shell
See the labyrinth of light inside
breathing into open space
forming tensile strands weaving
expansion into boundless essence
until there is no you held inside darkness
only joy, threading its golden breath
through all life
Written for Sue Vincent’s #writephoto challenge, “Threshold.”
