Salt Spring

The islands migration

over millennia, ice age sweep

Leaves a deeply rooted

connection with the sea

An entanglement—

where the water breathes

In & out of the infinite pathways

of porous island rock

Where the sea & rain water seep

Solution formation of salty springs

Up from the deep

On Salt spring island

All Water Runneth through,

in life force peace

A Universal well of truth—

As Salt down my cheek,

A tear from my body,

Yet a grief or a joy of Universal speak

The Well within me

like a porous island rock

All water runneth through

In life force peace

The taste of salt on my lips

The same taste of weep

Down cheek of another’s story

An entanglement—

Across the universal sea of empathy

All tides will greet

All bodies will meet

At the Salt Spring

here on every cheek
