Awake

awake

luminous

unbound

the flow beckons

into the breadth of its wilderness

i plummet into wildness

plummet into solitude

Photo by Ian Schneider on Unsplash

i let loose

threading into creativity

into the

light of awareness

here, in this untamed abode

wholeness is

wholeness flowing

upon every step

within every breath

wholeness flowing

down through valleys

up through the highlands

into the rising mountains

wholeness flowing in the cool air

the cloudy sky

in the feathery wind

flowing in the mossy woods

the grassy meadows

in the loamy mosaic of the land

flowing in the translucent light

the blue shadows

in the deep green spring-fed rivers

flowing in the flight of a raven

an ever-alert turkey

in a crayfish feeding in a stream

wholeness flowing in a gravel road

a mountain spring

in the sunrise reflected

upon a mountain lake

flowing through unbroken planes

And multi-faceted oceans

flowing through the unfolding light

and nestled within the mysterious dark

flowing forth as emptiness

flowing through all forms

wholeness

undisguised

it encompasses

circumscribing songs of the inexpressible

circumnavigating myself

flowing, rushing

it is soft and gentle

yet, ungraspable and unrestrained

its face

lies in all

it is the ecology of interdependency

the breath of change

yet it is still and timeless

it is the paradox

and the unknown

without caring

or knowing why,

i play and play

i feel presence

slip her hand

from its intangible

i feel presence

plunge me

within the depths

of its universe

as i seep

into its incomprehensible

here i stand

in the vision of creation

in the embers of destruction

in the home that is myself

for wherever i go

love raptures me
