Tidal

Where will the next wave come from

As I stand here alone on shifting sands

Trying to hold my centre

To send my energy down to the core of earth

Beneath the ocean shore

To something stable

That can hold when the next current surges

From who knows what direction

I am the fulcrum

And

I am trying to find the centre of the wheel

Of my individual heart and soul

Amidst this ocean of other cells other beings

All with individual feelings

And thoughts

Inflowing

Outflowing

From two miles away

I sensed you falling

As I fell

No one could know what you have been asked to carry

And buckled under the weight of

Too often we do not see the fundamental truth

Until it is too late

Now my eyes weep and yet there is a dryness too

We did the best we could

As the waves came

And what will be left after the next deluge

Is a heart that stood

As strong as it could at the centre

Before grief and powerless inundated it again

To reveal a deeper truth and realisation

Our mind struggled

To understand
