Not
all leaves
kiss sunlight.
Waves of ocean,
a composite whole,
for most part in the dark;
so which part feels the caress
of flowing breeze and sandy shore?
The aspects within, which are lighter
partake of playful joy in realms subtler.
Taking a cue from the sea thus offered,
we may do well to loosen fetters
that anchor us in delusion.
Essence of life in the flow,
alive in each moment.
Thus free of desire
and attachment,
our presence
throbs with
bliss.
