Ebb and Flow

We like to play
And so we do
In stillness sway
Aliveness renew

We make a game
Of everything we do
Watching wax & wane
Of each pulse anew

Beginning of the itch
The urge to scratch
Allowing the twitch 
We are our own match 

Differentiating intent
At half breath cessation 
The pauses potent
At inhalation & exhalation 

Lips opening to sip
A pause pregnant 
Into the tea they dip
The gulp too expectant 

We look in the mirror
Beyond outer appearance
A spasmatic bliss tremor
Reveals our innocence
