LEAVING

A GIFT FROM THE CLOUDS

Clouds move across the sky

billowing over ridges

slipping slowly past tree tops

One minute you can look

at mountains of clouds

and later look back

to see a tidal wave

Today I watched a rabbit

with a wild wig

slowly turn into a fish

jumping over a crescent moon

I began wishing I could slow these constant changes

    but as the philosopher said:

the only permanence is change

seasons come, seasons go

moon waxes, moon wanes

mountains form, talus grows

babe is born, hair greys

Distant thunder

lightening struck my thoughts

I saw a microcosm of Nature’s evolution

right there above me

  at a speed I can perceive

I saw I was part of a process

that I knew would go on changing

regardless of what anyone did.

It’s a comfort to see that I’m not alone

  in this vast changingness

And what a relief to understand

it’s all  beyond my control

And in deep surrender and release

  to know that I am one

  with all of life
