Murmuration

Oh to take the seasons with me

To float them out ahead of my course

As I stroke my paddle of purpose

through the sea of time

To feel their wake guiding me,

When I am set free

Oh Summer swells of warm flushing

Gently alofting my Fall hearts gushing

Oh Autumn swirls of deep cleaning

Forgiving my winter body’s dreaming

Oh Winter silence of still reflections

Harmonizing with Spring’s song selection

Oh Spring surges of savory renewal

Folding into my Summer of sweetness

Oh to take the seasons with me

To experience the past & future in murmuration,

in my flight through time

Let it be an intimate spiral dance

of freedom in the form
