the eastern horizon lightens.
The black sky and stars
Fade and vanish
And the sun rises.
Leaving the quarter celestial moon
Hanging in the sky.
You are on top of a steep wooded hill
Contemplating all before you,
The bush, the sky, the distant ocean.
The dark wood opens
And you step off the hill
Through the thick bush and scrub
Down to the river bank
Cluttered with broken trees.
Air vibrating with the sound
Of cicadas in the shimmering heat.
The river sluggish
Searching its way
Through the giant red gums.
You clamber and climb
Through the river edge chaos
Hints of the sea on the fitful breeze.
Opening and easier
You see the blue sky ahead
Through ti tree scrub.
Break out to the sea wind
Down the sandy bar
To the noise of waves and water.
You run to the sea and in.
The mass of boulders on the shore
Speaks to you
Touched by the waves
Of storms and still seas
Like the faintest murmur
A distant echo
In its time of eons
I was born from the magma below.
Cascading down
Until still and cool.
Worn away
Changed to sand
Scattered
Moved, buried and squeezed
Folded and lifted.
Transformed.
A new state
Reborn.
I age, wear
And change again and again
In a constantly repeating
Cycle of being.
The darkness rolls back
And light flows in
Assaulting you with meaning
Flooding over you
Warming you
Steadying you
And making you grow.
As the sky, the sea and the earth tell you
All things live in constantly repeating
Cycles of being,
Birth, existence and decay, death, transformation
Rebirth.
Forever
And within these repeating cycles
All thoughts and things belong
To the unity of existence
Through simply being.
Good and evil
Night and day
Yes and no
All opposite aspects
Within this unity
Creating the pure theoretical
Thought bounds of the duality
With which you think.
These things and thoughts are all connected,
Some obviously,
But mainly with delicate, hidden threads
Hiding under your senses
So the reality of your life
Is that you are an evolved, conscious being
Living in the myriad cycles
Of undefinable
Unity
With no beginning and no end
But with a universal connectedness
With everything.
You are standing
In front of your home.
You feel the light and energy around you
Within the immensity of the universe,
You are still.
You let go.
