endings, beginnings,
endings beginnings
comings and goings
what begins? what ends ?
In the ocean
rhythmic union of waters
a thread of the great loom
returns
to the weave
back through the warp.
the seaming of separateness
appears and reappears.
After closer inspection
through the fibers of this tapestry
stars thread through
constellations of atoms
blanket the heavens
Bright moments of lucid remembrance
moments left inplace
in the enviable hurtling spin
through the vast spaces
We, like the sand
that finds the way
into the pearl
spinning into gossamer light
to roll return
in the constant
lulling
lulling, lullaby
waves
of the sea
perl unwinding
back into sand
returns to orbit
like the sand
returns to orbit
like the stars
