darkness, lightness
yin yang, yang yin
man…woman
animal…human
we have many lives
beaming down
on my skin a silver moon…
how can needs be fulfilled
when what is wanted
is not needed
a turtle floated
to the island’s shore
years ago
my father rode on his back
to the bottom of the sea
waves rolling
across the sand
just a dream
soft and tender
I believe in Miracles
an ocean
shimmering with anima
pulls back and forth
back and forth…
make your foot prints now.
