To that which calms the winds of time
To that which calms the waters and wind of time
light tastes of morning mist
grey smoke rises across a moving sea
our work remains undone
Cloudless skies behind a crimson sun
shivering moons under a liquid sky
the face of peace
on wanting souls
moments of revelation
Ecstatic forms give rise
located in the breath of time
sentient aliveness
Drink deep and taste its birth anew
moment giving birth to moments
that rise and fall
Like endless seas that break as one
the endless seas and empty skies
stretch out to open lives
snd setting suns
