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 09-August-2020
