Becoming One

The silence you hear

Before you hit the water

The way your body

Skims across the skin of sea

Like the pebbles you tossed

As a child

Rapidly vibrating

Until your atoms meld together

Your vision fades

And you become one

 

Lay by the Shore

Let the waves roll around your head

Let the sand shift beneath you

Molding new forms

And the ocean sing songs

Through the throats of gulls

While grain by grain

Your body disolves

Back into the beaches

And your mind flies through the skies

Dropping back into the earth

High

And I’m balling

I’m falling

Away into the sounds and clouds

To the mesh of colours

That push me this way and that

Laughing with me, at me

Me too, I’m laughing

Though I’m not sure what’s funny

Ready for the day I’m going to be born again

I’ll keep tripping over till I get that

Samsara

Made from the stone on the hill

Forged from the flames of our fathers

Taught by the whispers in the wind

Only to return to the hill

To become it

To die and be reborn

Endlessly
