Rusing Waves

Posted on Tuesday, April 1st, 2008

Don’t take this poem as encouragement to dive in the surf — it’s still too cold!

“Rush Waves”

Just returned from the beach    
Where my shepherd sprinted    
After sea birds that tempted     
Her to rush waves at dawn.    

How to measure now,     
Not threatened by past or    
Anxious about future,     
To be promise unfolding?    

The secret is to be still,     
Hear the silence surrounding    
Beneath sound cacophony,    
Take time to lose one’s mind,    

Un-grasp what is held tightly,    
Be mad in consciousness – wake,   
Discover how shepherd feels    
On a brisk morning in surf.
