Suspended in the blue-green,
diving into that sapphire blue awareness,
embracing parallels
of grey brothers and sisters,
different only in the kinds of puzzles,
we choose to solve.
and our acceptance of condition.

I saw beautiful grey bodies flying,
dancing through that water-space,
embracing me with the purest of love,
and tender curiosity,
and all the while those horrific shark bites,
those disfigurements born of the wild,
of the places of no laws,
save nature's abides,
were accepted,
understood by victim and Universe,
in the same perfection,
as those others who soared to loftier heights.

This teaching fell on me,
like love falls on unsuspecting victims of understanding,
standing face to face with the dawn,
dissipating the mist of greener pastures,
with this love of radiant cognition,
rendering the perfection in all places,
into this one place,
into this one second.

Touch me,
you are so beautiful,
in this One,
you with your white perfection,
and your perfect broken wing,
never to fly but in all ways to fly,
ever to make love grow,
in all hearts you touch,
in all that surrounds you,
in your gentle embracing of your pain,
you bring serenity,
in your quiet hope,
you bring forth dreams,
in this ordinary flight,
of extraordinary courage.
