![]() *
An ocean poised before the rock
beyond antiquity
its substance still not yet smooth
though eons past
when in forces beyond all mind and sense
it came at last
to stand before the sea
A fire burns low
in tent beneath single rough pole
glowing rocks speak to the eyes
of seeking ones
the moment
before water in clay vessel
bids them speak
in the hissing of steam’s rise
A dark place where the flicker of a single lamp
leaps across the glowing silent space
the instant before the chant of voices
rise in song
A windswept place
with a hut beneath the sun
a soul sits there
reaching to understand
the moment
before the ray
of first light
touches the threshold
of the open door
A cold grey day
beneath the open sky
Then slight silent beautiful one again appears
gentle, wise within
far beyond her years
patiently composed within the fire
of her own strong nature
in one instant
a heart rises above
the sameness of the day
its patient effort real
Yarrow grows upon the hill
through all weather and circumstance
in the moment before touch of summer wind
when began its graceful sway and dance
so long ago it’s hard to say
I now with spindle spin
moments in eternity
Gentle yet determined
we will persist
we will prevail
And so we wait
you and I
we our effort
real and lasting
gentle beautiful one
