Aloft

The wind sets our sail

Into the mystic

We travel beyond the depths of human mind and thought 

When a tear falls from a star 

Dazzling the sky towards the ground 

A gaping hole of violence and injustice across the globe

The internal compass of our being lost without sight

Striving to make sense of it all

White light flickers gallantly on the horizon 

The wonder of existence shines eternal 

Lens of life sharpens its focus

For our human creation to stand forthright 

Poetic eye of observation 

From the spiritual tower unfolds

Aloft

The wind sets our sail

Into the mystic

Collectively the fallen tear gathers and ascends from the earth

Sweeping brilliantly through the air towards the heavenly sky

Into the mystic

The wind sets our sail

Aloft

We are home

Have you ever engaged in a conversation with the sea?
Where all thoughts transacted flowed with ease.
Understanding is mutual and done in grace
as light passages illuminate through the running waves.
Deep
Alluring
Turquoise view
Reminiscing muses of a world sinew;
with a spiritual elevation, only the towers of love can reach.
While crashing waves of delight
sparkle across the silver beach.
Pebbles recede in a shaken rain stick song;
and seashells echo over and beyond…
Love
Love
Love is the way
A salt water transfusion relieving minds that hate.
Listen
Listen
Listen to my words
I am the ocean your friend on a constant course;
sharing and giving soul cleansing ways
to a universal power above the sun beaming rays.
