water still as glass, reflecting a living shore
blow the merest breath across it and the vision transforms
strong tree reaching for the sky
embrace all of heaven in your branches
swamped and mired in struggle, conflict
let go
still and let be
life blooms in calm
rich depths nurture and purpose takes hold
see hear smell taste touch
warm sunshine soaking in
soft earth underfoot
tangy smells of pine and fir
salty, cool mist
rough bark and stone
wait. wait like the still earth
never dreaming, never distracted
just waiting, watching silent
i walked down trails of littered duff
reaching deep along roots
breathing, enfolding gentle breezes
until my spirit sighs and relinquishes control
let go of thought and assumptions
to experience what is
then all tears subside
only then does power come
power to set captives free
this is home
that needs no defending
do i want to be grounded
when i can fly?
what if i am only in your imagination?
