Puddles of Freedom

Life is but a breath on whispering winds of time, but what a breath… Breathe…
There are moments
when I see the stars,
the stars,
whose light shines brightest
when you smile
for in those moments
I wake to the possibilities
of that smile …
your oblivion smile
exploding my soul
Time drips
to eternity.
Water, a simple taste
of you
We aspire to exist
within the intimacy of love
only to realise
Love doesn’t belong
to the human race.
Your heart
is not alone
Your heart
belongs
Hush now
The storm has passed
leaving behind
a kind of soft saturated wildness
in the air
on the leaves
in the sky where the clouds,
seeming unsure as to their purpose
or their colour,
melt along the horizon
to reveal the blue, blue
age of day.
Hush now
Go to your windows and open them
walk along your path and breathe
open your heart and smile
turn off your tech and feel the clean air
smell the mulch
taste the abscence of rain
and watch as one after the other
creatures fly about, crawl about
under the blue, blue
age of day.
Hush now
Live in these moments
breathe the peace
stretch your mind and your body
reach up, reach down
reach all around. Now,
watch as those whisps of breath
drift to the trees
to the earth
and up to the blue, blue sky
to create the rain of tomorrow’s peace
for the coming new age of day.
Hush now
