Dawn doesn’t break.

No startle here or rude awakening.

The still waters of the rock pool begin to circle

Enlivened and aware of deeper currents

Soft breath

Rising, falling

A relevance of life beyond the self.

A nose may smell

Heightened, involved

Touching, rubbing, a soft caress

Falling, rising

Detached yet unified by sense sublime.

Rhythm, melody, symphony

All caught in a chasm of desire

Liberation, detachment no beginning or end.

I could have lost myself here forever.

My lips affirm on going joy

Treasure the experience

What has been shared

Holding you in my arms

Our embrace returns to stiller waters

Bird song serenade

Shared delight in this timeless moment
