Sun Sand and Ocean
|
A meditation on the beach -
Walked along the shoreline and kicked sand through my sandals.
It's great to feel the freedom between the toes on days like this.
To feel my beloved's presence alongside....
The day was a perfect one - chill in the air,
sea breeze blowing across the face
and a blue sky that suggested
infinity and beyond.
|
 As the seagulls broke the rich blue depths
with their errant flighted shapes, noisy prattling
and incessant squabbling for the tidbits
a lucky one had found,
I wondered in awe about that blue sky...
Where did it stop and what was it
that created this depth of azure calm?
As the sun ran its race that had been today
and began to robe itself in its magnificence
to herald its departure, the blue surrendered
to the golden glory that stole its depths.
|
 It surrendered its journey to the inevitable splendour
of gilded wonder that spread across the ocean,
demanding awe from all creatures that played
- even a miniscule role -
within these short bars of an eternal symphony
that constantly continued to compose itself.
I was glad to be such an integral instrument
within this wonder, and allowed its beauty to imprint itself
on my being as if to say ...
Yes, I am part of this - not separate from it.
I am this golden shower,
I am the blue azure that yields,
I am the orb of infinite light
that orchestrates the changing tempo...
I am the conductor conducting,
the composer composing,
..... I am that.
