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
