Crackle and Pop

spring is autumn upside down
winter's summer turned around
night is day without the light
shadows shine just out of sight

sky and ocean intermingle
molecules and atoms single
first rise up and then they fall
from the clouds above us all

drifting in an unseen ocean
the atmosphere in constant motion
like our thoughts which never stop
sometimes crackle sometimes pop

drifting with them we're daydreaming
calculating, planning, scheming
swept away in thinking's rush
ideas unfolding seeming lush

compelling and so mesmerizing
we are shocked by their surprising
disappearance when we breathe
the opportunity we have to leave

the torrent, leave the rushing
all the pressure and the crushing
need we think we have for more
slipping inside through a door

to the oneness all around us
and within us where we drown as
we become souls now set free
I see you and you see me

in the sky and ocean mingling
in the rain when it is tingling
electrons falling as we rise
one with nature and its ties

drifting in an unseen ocean
we are all in constant motion
parts of you becoming me
that's the way it's meant to be
