I am swimming through
the vast ocean of life
sometimes my stroke is
strong, sometimes weak
I explore the deepest
depths of it's reflections
or float, resting a time
I feel that I can become
lost in its infinite mystery
sinking, confused from the
intensity and magnitude of
feeling and the beauty that
I receive from all of life
such immense feelings
inside me; so strong they
are painful and I long to
express myself; i feel
that I am going to burst
I grasp onto the sun
for his warmth and comfort
my closest friend is our
mother, earth, and I go
to her to sooth my
burning hurt and confusion
I watch mother earth, as
she also drifts in this
ocean of life, embracing
the sun, as she revolves
around him and his
life-giving force
I never want to lose you!
and it makes me angry
to see you hurt and destroyed
be gentle to her, our friend
the earth mother, our only hope
then, you came along
you nourish me with your love
and with your undivided attention
you give my heart and soul rest
you take my entire being
into your luminated hands
rocking and caressing me
I love you, my beautiful Moon
