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
