Water's Traverse

Beloved

We traverse through water

You kiss me on the lips

I am the bridegroom

To divinities fire

You hold me in warm embrace

I never linger away from You

You holding me in this eternal moment

Traverses all space and time

How can these things be known

With the warmth of your love

The truth of your connected

Essence to mine

Always coming upon a summon

Living beating within my heart.

Child of the Cosmos

I once had the energy

Dedicated to this science

This religion of life

Until the cosmic ocean

Swept over me

And left me drained

Of all cares

And strife

I noticed the trees

Offering illusionary Shade

The appeal of nighttime

Flowers still bestowing

Their aroma

And stillness lingering in air

The eternal essence of being

Helped me realize my ego

Was the only thing holding me

A captive to what all fear

Yet to run away and be free

And connect with cosmic ether

Always drew me closer

Kept me near

The freedom of allowing

These moments of stillness

Pass us by

We cry to the wind

When moments come and go

Leave remain stay

Suddenly collide

Without attaching to one

Or leaving the next

We are at one with all eternity

Our head in the lap

Of everlasting rest.
