Touching Water

Where the sun

touches water…

The sharp edge of light

slices through the illusion.

Caught between time,

between words,

I open to the vast space,

the deep well of longing

closes around me,

falling even as I fly.

I take wing and tumble
into myself.

Only silence bears witness

to the vast unknown stretching beyond.

This point,

this place of remembering

where I begin,

yet again.
