Waves that break upon the shore
Clouds that leave for something more
Beyond our sight, in mist, become
One with the source, we all succumb
Returning home, as whence began
first breath, upon this caravan
of transformation, constant change
physical world, does rearrange
Its ever-fluctuating dance
Look deep within, endless expanse.
Let go the need to fix in place
My body, mind, my aging face…
.
Like silent thunder, change rolls through
On a path of clear acceptance,
Perspective earned with all we do.
.
The moments of our story loom,
with drama we create our doom
Instead, hold open, clenching fist
Accept our truth, essential mist:
We are but water, rippling waves
On windswept shores, forever slaves
Unruly flesh, emotion, pain:
Just a passing, endless refrain.
