Ocean

I'm sitting here with you

Here on this dune

amongst the web of grasses

Doggedly resilient

And I breathe in the

Tangible invisibility

of your calming magic.

Your expansive presence

Is beyond my comprehension

The horizon a broad illusory trick

of a straight line

I must remember that.

I'm here. Seeing you, I think.

But focused on your surface

I am expecting sameness

Or expecting nothing at all

Until the woman in red, points

Which truly opens my eyes

And now I am looking

Attentive to the possibility

that Life - as dolphin or whale -

might be offering me

A sacred visitation with the wild

Might choose specifically to meet me

As I am longing to be met

But I must be looking

Open to receive

Expecting something

May I hold the mystical image

of 'whale presence'

as alive and available

within the vast waters

of all my moments

May I awaken to this truth

Seen or Unseen.
