these stormy, silvery seas

long journey…
surfing waves through night
navigating
these stormy, silvery seas.

using the star maps
and this internal compass
to seek
the shoreline
and sail towards the lands of home.

experiencing
and simultaneously witnessing
the unfolding of unprecedented times
– dark nights of soul –
in self
and other
in all our peoples
cities
forests
and this planetary shedding.

following glimpses of light
in vision, sound and body motion.
in earth
ancestral memory and spirit knowledge
and in the pulsing silence of these hearts.

using those moments
those illuminations from the sky
to cultivate
and ride
the grace
and feral force
of sacred healing.

remembering
who I am
and who
we are

remembering
that
the sun
will always
rise
