Here new now
sun bright
warming & alighting my studio
enjoying peace
of no thing
clawing, scratching unseen
but audible
inside a wall
near the head of my bed
Hum of life alive in my ears
when pen pauses on page
holding deep breath in
before releasing it with a sigh
winged ones sweet morning songs
punctuating the silence
Thank you no thing
to acquire, hunt, chase, capture or flee
heat and silk of
home brewed chai with cashew cream
on my tongue
Comforting aroma of cinnamon, ginger, cardamom and clove
greeting me in the man’s quarters
where the kitchen I tidy
and he cooks for us
is
Evocative images arranged
on a poster board
yet to be glued down
and hung
as a welcome sign
for
beauty
hummingbirds
flowers
fractals
foxes
forest stream
ocean waves on rocks
under full moon
with temple
woman
dreaming
expressions
of delight
in
eARTh’s
open arms
her voice
emanating from everything
exclaiming
harmony
wild joy
belonging
are here now!
What would it take for you
to live
as if
you are already
whole
and
home?
