Perfect Spiral - For Contest

Perfect Spiral


He spoke of life’s eternity
the labor of the plow
spirit’s cultivation
of the ever present now

An eternal present moment
forever taking shape
life’s spiritual spiral
offering no escape

This ever present moment
through which passes all of time
a pin hole into paradise
through which no light can shine

Furrows in the spiral
creations cleansing chore
circling the future
doing less while learning more

He spoke of being’s trinity
body, mind, and spirit
the power of this troika
when we decide to share it

He left his gentle moment
released of carnal needs
yet in the present moment 
nurtures all his seeds

He spoke of life’s eternity
the labor of the plow
spirit’s cultivation
of the ever present now.
