Coming Up for Air
Where does the wind blow?
Where does the moment go?
Where do the sounds fall?
The origin of sunlight
Sun setting over the sea -
There are truths that belie the mind
And yet are there to be seen.
Holding hands - the light runs
The sun shines
Have you noticed?
What has that to do with the known universe?
Is this the secret of death?
Raining riches
We stand alone
On the earth
Knowing nothing.
Single-minded
the world disappears.
Coming up for air
We are never alone.
Dust to dust
Light to light
Never once known
We career on our way
Towards unknown stars
Each a light
of infinity
Bubbling words
In our incoherence
Rushing forth
Towards nowhere.
There is only one way out
And that is to the meaning of all things
In their element.
