Making Waves

Away in the distance

Beyond the horizon

Untouched …

Stirred only by the breath of God

Life unfolds on a wave of shimmering blue-green velvet 

Roaring, in a single smooth sensuous flow toward me…

Heaving. Arching. 

Curving. Crashing 

Into soft oblivion …

Sinking, dissolving, dying

Into the arms of the absorbing sand

Becoming one

Invisible, unseen …

I lift my eyes

And stil I behold you …

Rising anew on the distant horizon 

To surge afresh to urgent, pounding life

Velvet flow unfolds  

Holds me riveted…

… and Life begins again

Resurgent …

Rebirth initiated

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Was it you, stripling, that beckoned me 

    with your thunder from my bed …

Held me riveted with your hearkening distant roar?

Challenged me to explore

Seek more 

of you …

I heard you

Pursued you

To this wave of shimmering blue-green velvet roaring toward me …

Y asi

Los movimientos corrientes de mi vida

Fluyendo, corriendo, chocando

And thus 

The fluid movements of my life …

Tiny fluttering ripples spring from within 

Testing … rising, growing, swelling, arching

Colours merge, strength emerges

Phantom clouds take finite form

 strive and fight to flourish. 

To the drumbeat of the breath of God, marching

New waves burst forth unbidden from my being

And on the shores of Life, new creation begins
