Lightness of Being

Losing self-importance I find contemplation at eventide.

Patience returns in deep shadows while watching the setting sun.

Gently he strokes me,  silent laughter.  

Lithium crystals leave me floating in a sea of lightness,

Releasing stuckness as my identity drops away

Expanding into buoyancy sensing no restriction. 

Karma shifts  while my soul finds relief in non-ego,

As passion recedes I find humility w no struggle,

Compassionate embrace, hands of attunement rest in green ripples

Slipping off the choked garment too tightly woven,

Grasping hiddeously, revealing ecstatic freedom.

Meditation arises, we receive inner wisdom, 

I feel gratitude knowing how much you cared, and that we loved.

In quiescent moments my senses exult in aroma of cedar and rose.

I have no claim on your freedom-I am in you and you are in me.

Our golden glow has faded into gratitude, 

Timeless loving envelopes cool shadow wisdom.

Not much time left for selfies.
