Innocent and happy
Noisy and teasing
Reaching out joyously
Reaching out joyously
Quickly retreating
Growing up suddenly
Falling just as fast
Terrorizing in their stature
But still, in the ocean, lost
Their power awesome
With a resounding sound
Destroying all in their path
Finally destroyed, unfound
Into the vastness
Deep and silent
Housing a universe
Carrying undercurrents
Surface fluttering
But quiet within
Menacing in storms
And then quieting
At the bottom
The buried sand
The vessel that holds
Where the waters land
Is that the end
Or something deeper
Solid and quiet
Resting forever
All this noise
Where does it vanish?
Deep inside where
Thoughts are banished.
A silent core
Calm and steady
Restful and peaceful
If you are but ready
To welcome it
Into your hearts
And not let the breeze
Shake up your parts
Like the ocean
Contained on the sandy bed
So also a wealth of thoughts
Roam around in your head
But swim deep
And find that core
Where resides
The Ancient Soul
The One that connects
Everything created
A core that remains
Unobserved and content
Silent and observing
Unshaken, unstirred
Watching a play
Letting life go undeterred
What unfolds and folds
Are but part of that drama
In that silent core
There is no melodrama.
To touch it is to contain
The ocean in the fist
For there is one Truth
And this is it, this is it.
