A walk by the seashore



A walk by the seashore
Seeking to... finding myself in reflection

In each particle of sand speaking in its own voice

As oceans of air streaming above making love  

In sounds merging between every dimension of life

Coming to focus in the prism of our hearts and minds as we are touched by surf and shore

Collectively meeting each particle of water

As we walk together each long kiss forms a new link

Becoming part of the chain holding our dreams

In this quiet place anchored in our memories

Expressed in waves spread out over the horizon

stars in the sky being here on this earth in time  

riding shotgun, amidst the armada of stars  

We are there too, i am with you even now

 As our dreams touch seamlessly as sails  

which catch the wind as earth is turned  

by a celestial source here we are again

 somewhere in heaven where water cycling  

kissed by the sun, forms myriad sparkling strands  

of molecules dancing in rain through its course  

of love in life even when the earth  

touched by the sun, moans blissfully  

as if participating in a continuous renewal of life

Celebrations which continue long into the night,  

As the moon lit by the stars stands out boldly, marking the heavens with bright impressions  

Touching deep into our consciousness  

Even as we feel in each embrace a higher calling

Holding hands, as songs of heart meet  

Dancing dreams, sweet reflections in our eyes

Make passions rise against the background  

Of starlight and eternity

Together, we live more passionately

When we share an awareness of all

As the waves dance, touched by the wind

Our footprints dance telling their own story

Of our loving course as passions flow

Reflecting in our emotions  

Make impressions in the sand in steps to a love dance, timeless as they are momentary written  

into eternity as we laugh beside the stars

Our whole lives may be merely a ripple, in an eddy

In the stream of the universe

Still, we are part of a far greater scene

More than thoughts triggered by our senses

an impression of life like a message in a bottle  

cast into an ocean of air

As we walk by the seashore, finding in our reflections of life there are others like us  

On this journey in the here now between the stars

We interact spontaneously, it is not by chance

Each time we take another breath, feel another heartbeat, live another life touched by love

In the ever-evolving flow creations expression

Whether you and i believe it or not a wave travelling

As if by grace through this space in time

Whether you find solace, trying to understand

Or are just along for the ride

Yes, soon this all too will pass as quietly

As it came to be cast further than our sense

Of the dimensions of this, our gift

Of life as it was or will be

Adrift into forevermore with the freedom  

To be or not to be  

 In love
