Harmonic Odyssey


Closing our eyes

See the silence

Smell the quiet

No place to go

Nothing needs

To be done

Time for the

In between space

Liminal moments

Surrendering to

A total embrace


Hope

Mercy

Weaving together 

Throughout time

Remembering


Starships sailing into the night

The pulse, the heartbeat

Breathing in and out

Waves rolling like small slopes

Motion rippling slowly

The quantum field


Jewels of the Rainbow

Bright shining glimpses

The Sun


The Divine whispers 

If we slow down and stop

Inviting and listening

Then, we hear

If not, the Divine shouts


Ocean tides

Move in and out

Creating harmony holding

All of life: plants, beasts, cells

Killing, consuming, digesting

Breathing through complex pores and

Gills while fins and paddles swim

Continuous motion

Just like on the top of the water

On the land, in the air

Just like out in space

All the dynamics everywhere


Colors changing

Moving from magenta to deep

Dark blues, purples, and yellows

Reds, oranges and dark black

Sparkling, shimmering around edges

Sliding in and out of view

Merging and transforming

Engaging and separating

Just like we do


Will our Spirit beings

Display their energies

On this particular journey?

Up above 

Down below and

Throughout this energetic

Field of delight and expanse?


Not human forms, rather

A cornucopia of colorful tones

Spectacular looming lights

The blossoming of roses

Caves and streams

Structures and forms

Sacred geometric patterns

We receive their messages

Our senses awash


Beauty rolling, swaying

Just like dance and music

From lyrical, slow, stretching moves

To erratic jolting bass booming 

Wild dancing, singing, shrieking

Relaxing again, the pace becoming

Background sound, soothing 

Being seen, heard, experienced 

Lived


Joy and war

Conflict and peace

Holy harmony 

All Nature

All One

This Sacred Rose

The petal of this rose

Softer than baby skin

As supple as 

A wave of music

A particle of sunlight


Ah, I see a Mother Ocean splash

Dolphin’s fabulous fin emerging

Breathing in fresh air

Diving into the deep


Surfacing again and again

Feeding and breathing

Rollicking and recycling

The water holds us


From the horseshoe crab

To the tiniest living cell 

The omnipresent ocean swims her

Beasts, plants, creatures


Flowing along in her currents

Some spend their lives

Savoring her shifting seas

Tinkering with the tides


In and out, back and forth

Gliding, swirling, spinning

Seeking the support of

Salty water all around 


Lifting our souls 

Up into the heavens

While some are swallowed 

By an octopus

Death, rebirth


Reincarnated into that

Clever consumer's body

Living on and on forever

Passed down and through time


Creating wholeness and

Holiness

Just like this rose
