Floating

We are all cast about

~floating~

On the same ocean

Eager to swim spectacularly far

Yet a primal desire

To be held

within the paddling

To be just One of many

~floating~

On the same ocean

As to sense, in awe

the Web of life in our feet

As to not fear, in humility

the vastness of our hearts

~floating~

On the same ocean

As to feel, in awe

Our sameness within complexity

As to not know, in humility

The mystery of the ocean

~floating~

As to trust, in awe

That we are never alone

Even and especially

When we find ourselves afloat

Spectacularly far…

Out of sight of the paddling

We ARE ~floating~

On the same ocean
