In the Earth’s stillness
2-3 May 2015
The seagulls mewed on
Melancholy in their voice
Mere semblance of choice
Bodies may misrepresent
Inner choice of mind and soul
Tides renewed highs, lows
Ever returning to source
Where deep meets shallow
Inward, outward, light and dark
Weak, strong; one coin two faces
Sand seeped through my toes
Neverlasting steadiness
Of fading times’ strength
Wills willed hard, souls clung, boughs broke
Earth shivered out of motion
In the Earth’s stillness
Sand hovered and waters flowed
Winding winds rose high
Carefree thoughts wound down my mind
As summer’s whispers blew strong
