Gathering tide

My soul is a giant being

Dwelling in depths

Moved by sonar waves

Breathing with angels

And how I remember

That difficult time

When it fell

Into the deepest slumber

Now as its re-emergence

Parts the seas

Water rises like a flood

Then I become like a tiny baby

That has lost its way

Is hungry for the unconditional

Loving comfort of its mother

Then looking deeply inwards

I see in a row of mirrors

Reflection upon reflection

Of the same issue being refracted

In the soul joirney of

So many of my kin

And then I recognise

Those tears that fell

Were for all the times we ran away

Thoughtlessly severing bonds

That were so desperately in need

Of repair

Out in the world my heart aches at times

For the carelessness of humans

We seem all so.lost lately

And it is then I know

I must trust my soul

And open my heart

No.longer abandoning my body

Drawing my soul closer and closer

To that eternal spark

That is my guiding light

For deep within

I sense the healing wave

That wants to rise

A gathering tide

Leading all souls closer and closer

To wisdom

Arising through the recognition

Of how deeply impersonal is our suffering

But oh how desperately our soul’s are

In need of our attention.
