Flow

I wish for my body to enter that state of flow just as the waves

come and go, come and go 

my blood rises and falls in sequential rhythm like the sea

all over me

I have been stuck for too long in an unmoving cycle 

the crevices in my skin becoming stale 

stuck in survival 

if I keep quiet long enough I can hear

tree roots underground brewing 

earth simmering after a sharp winter 

renewing 

not long now until the earth will erupt

the buds bursting with aliveness

intact

come slowly out of darkness 

don’t rush the unhurried process of awakening; 

unfold your body in time with the earth

a new birth – 

your arms like tree branches elongating

hands like leaves expanding 

your feet on solid ground 

and inside you 

the sea washing away what’s stuck around

the flow is perpetual 

rise and fall; come and go 

you will never be bonded again to those that suck you dry 

whisper your benediction.

in constant renewal – 

begin with the morning and end with the night 

and plant your self into each moment with the conviction: 

the universe will never disappoint
