River mood 2

amidst the turmoil
of belonging
in or out

the joyless
education of
assembly line children

I seek 
the truthful presence
of the river's waves and flow

Sky
Earth
World

the small contains the big
the big contains the small
it offers itself freely

there is peace
in the simple action 
of being and creating








empathy

River mood

once more
I am pulled towards
the river

the big dirty snake
with its hidden
treasures

of appearing and disappearing
beaches and wash-ups
eery silence of solitude

amongst the people of the world
the contradictions
of being part of and apart from 

poor and rich 
side by side
pure grainy sand

clinking sound of glass 
with every wave awash
 the beating of my heart

Gratitude


Gratitude 
for knowing the soft soothing
of simplicity

of being together
with no words or
the must of doing

the distress when the Light(ness) evaporates
when the restlessness of
searching doubt takes over

washing over me like 
torrents of waves
submerging - feet in the air

slowly finding back 
to the essence
to stillness within

gratitude for knowing and sharing 
I am learning to be with
soft - touch - gentle



simple moments of being and creating with my boy
