the sail time travels on
shrinks and us smaller still
in the wake of sky-filled luminous canvas
you ride
with newgrace
newonder
newelation
Let us learn from you
to embrace what
time grants us
to hold what we touch
in reverence for what
it will grow within us
perhaps
that’s why we’re here
the seen and unseen
cannot separate worlds
they feed each other
shall we not mistake pain
for obstacles
and medals for self-worth
neither will reward
our great Consciousness
rising and thriving
when we seek the path
of self-realization
only with eye unblemished
by transient standards
of men and women
my hands cannot catch
the sparkle you sail on
bouncing from your unfettered heart
But I keep it
in a teaching place
so my mind will not forget
the unseen that grows inside me
and not regret
what escapes to less than dust someday
but eternel inside me
