fundamentally we live within
what we are
surrounded by those who cannot see
but what they are
and when we find, stumble upon
trip over
are knocked down by
one who vibrates at a complimentary
frequency,
so that their soul
does not disturb the concentric
ripples of our own life
but drops seamlessly into the center
a bulls eye
causing not identical but complimentary
ripples across the watery flexibility
of the surface of our soul
then,
from the bottom
of the clear blue lake
we can still see the sun
and the stars
through our own eyes,
but with the amplification and power
also
of their own,
and they too feel us
being with us
in between us
in between them
and the ripples never stop
always resonating and reverberating
until, at long last
the water is clear
smooth and flat
and the energy from the sun
and the moon and their stars
warms us,
feeds us
and shows us the light within
our selves
that the waves had always known would
erupt when they were gone
