LOST AT SEA        (1983; Laguna Beach, California)

       
         
screaming clarity  
intrigues my sinewy mind  
as air flows in and out of me  
feeling how all things bind  
as this crystalline day around me  
so sensuously explores  
my outer and inner  
living body and being  
so sweetly  
so sensuously  
pore by pore  
as sun s warm  golden  solar palm  
gently touches and caresses  
this great  living  conscious  
spinning vessel  
of our wondrous  
sacred mother earth  
with it s fiery heart s light  
reflective  
of my very soul  
oh soul of my soul  
light of my light  
can you hear my living  
joyously grateful song s  
spontaneous  living prayer here  
flowing like the air i breathe  
in and out of me  
within this greater oneness all things are  
oh soul of my soul  
oh radiant light of my own  
beyond this temporal  
illusory  learning world  
of our mortal  
temporal human lives  
vehicles of our eternal souls  
in which  
and throughout which  
we each and all  
live out our lives upon  
and wherein we each and all  
through life s rich joys  
greatest hardships  
and suffering s  
inevitable  
necessary soul lessons  
all come and go  
in each of our lifetime s  
fleeting  uncertain journeys  
wherein  and through which  
the one thing that i ve come  
to most surely learn  
and experientially know  
is simply this  
above all else alone  
this beautiful  conscious  living world  
contains but one kingdom  
in which this day is life s throne  
and mankind is the sea  
that the nameless god  
of ineffable oneness  
sails on  upon  
within and throughout  
each and every  
ever mysterious  
recyclic journey  
of everything
that is
and us  
all
in this
inseparable
oneness
with all
in oneness
we
are
