Now
Now,
Now!
Now and then a silence.
Take this breath and hold it there, fill your lungs with scented air
Watch the sky, let all fears out in one sweet living sigh
Bala-laaaaa-lala-labaa-lalah-lala-la-la-lah she says softly, I shake my head but like this lack of words.
I like the lack of sense. I like the present tense of soothing sounds around me.
The ant that scurries by is red of hue. He drinks the morning dew and lifts the seeds upon his back.
He is my guide and fellow.
Sunset pink and purple merging into yellow.
So above, so below. So my heart seeks out the gold.
I have been told to follow.
I like my feet firm on the ground connecting me to earth,
To birth and signs, seasons of renewal repeating over aeons.
Samsara, samsara, singing through the meadow flowers and grasses.
Samsara.
