CONSUMED AGAIN    (1-11-2006, sunrise, East Beach, Galveston Island, Texas)

as sun begins
to rise
i feel its radiant
call
drawn down
to this beach
i walk out
onto
upon
across
its windswept
open
sandy plains
surrounded by
fresh cool
morning air
my physical body
and being
inwardly quickened
fully embraced
so wholly
so wildly
so holy
by this bright
new  shining day
elated
i open my arms
up widely
above my head
as i proceed
on down
towards
dancing
silver surf
of softly singing
gulf
stretched out vast
as sky above
expansive as
perhaps even beyond
my boundless
passion
for life itself
so wondrously expressed
sensed
seen
felt and found
in its infinite
manifestations
even here
now
everywhere
before
and around me
which seems
to always
naturally quicken
that purer
inner brightness
of my conscious
and higher consciousness s
already long
awakened
oneness awareness s
tuned in being
as my quickened
eyes
heart
mind
and spirit
glide
smoothly out
over sparkling
liquid path
of swollen
bursting
blinding
platinum sun
upon
transcendent wings
of liberated
open heart
released and freed
once more
out into
the glorious
warmth
of lights complete
most vital consumption
of both
my corporeal
and ethereal being
so wholly
so wildly
so holy
consumed
fully consummated
spiritually consecrated
again
where in
the sudden clarity
of my instant
realizations
living reminder
here
that i must be
presently seeing
in a sacred manner
again
and so
in context
with that
heightened state
of my
natural being
i can only
openly rejoice
in my ecstatic
inner joy
and bliss
here in my
present
sweet communion
here with all
i sense
feel
see
hear
and taste
in everything
around me
here
within this
present
moments
own
constant
sacred
now
