Free Like the Wind… And the wind-blown ocean

While all the moments of our life
vanish like shadows in a mist,
the intelligence that brings wildflowers
and the gentle hum of bees
brings us moments
touched by meaning,
as though the conscious universe
were helping us discover
the hidden beauty
woven through its boundless soul,
the endless song of silence
joining every leaf
and every human heart.
The eternal becomes human
for the brief duration of a life,
its silent harmonies unfolding
into inspiration
all across our endless inward sky
with sentience, intelligence
and meaning,
a compass to steer our life,
a hidden poetry of light
gardening our heart,
the soul of the universe
blending through the fabric
of our world
while all the fleeting moments pass.
We don’t live forever
and all the moments of our life
appear briefly and are gone forever,
while something deep inside us,
something in the silence,
helps us see more clearly,
like we have new eyes
to know life is larger than it seems,
more beautiful
than we can say in words,
as every moment fades to memory
like shadows fading into mist
that lingers on an endless ocean.
