Eternity

How do you catch the shape of a raindrop before it falls? How do you catch the essence of love in a word? how do you feel eternity without surrender? how do you feel bliss without being free? what is freedom if your spirit sits still? we are flow, water streaming down rushing mountain-sides, wind blowing through whispering forest-leaves, this is the ecstasy which moves my soul to freedom. I am the movement in the moment of stillness, my breath rippling through my empty thoughts, my body existing without the need for stress or tension: I am loose, I am free. I am the sweet wind's melody echoing through the rustling trees, I am the bubbling water above a tadpole's kiss, I am the stealthy lynx slipping secretively through the arms of the trees, I touch all, but none can keep me..... how do you catch the shape of a raindrop before it falls? how do you catch the essence of love in a word? I am the eagle soaring over limitless space I am the child's echoing laughter which never fades away, I am the embrace of a mother, of infinite love. I am the sky which shows us endless joy, I am the Earth forever giving love, I am the connecting power which links divine and mortal: without us, infinity could not exist. We are vessels for light reflecting each other with joy, illuminating the soft darkness, opening our arms to the wisdom of the womb..... how do you catch the shape of a raindrop before it falls? how do you catch the essence of love in a word?
