To Open All the Doors and Windows I Can Find

WAFTING SUN ON WINDED WATER

MAKES THE RIVER MOLTEN GOLD

LET ME BASK IN THIS MOMENT’S GRACE

ISN’T THIS MY PLACE?

TO OPEN ALL THE DOORS AND WINDOWS I CAN FIND?

TO LISTEN, TO SEE, AND FEEL THE DIVINE?

NINE HUNGRY BUZZARDS CRUISE THE SKY,

WIND CHAFES THROUGH THE RIVER PINE,

I MOVE CLOSER TO THE WATER

NOW I FEEL THE HEAT —

FIRE AND WATER ARE MINGLING, THEY CONSORT,

(I DO NOT COMPETE)

FIRE BURNS BRIGHT

AND MOVES ACROSS THE WATER INTO ME —

WE ARE ONE !

I BASK IN THE MOMENT
