Heart and Grit

Circle of Life and Death

Creative Spark

29 Jul

i. water

A circle wraps its arms around
itself in rapture, like water.
Caressing fluidity,
as a sea snake pulses in the high tide.

No mere erotic indulgence,
this is Life meeting itself
where it lives,
as it is.

Drenched in the innocence
of naked spontaneity,
for the thrill of being seen
and known.

Undulating swells of a rising tide,
ecstatic surf
births earthly shape.

      ii. earth

Endings prompt new beginnings,
beginnings seek rest as endings.
Serpent Ouroboros devours its tail,

Parched harvests are grieved and buried,
bitter fruit falls at the feet of renewal,
seeds are scattered.

Spring shoots burst toward the sun.
Our fingers dig deep into good brown earth,
renewing vows to love fearlessly
for another day.
