after the worst things happen
after life tells you in lessons why
you are here
you’ll raise your head
and you won’t see darkness anymore
you’ll see light
~
there is this path that always waits
a bright sheen dancing
the sea, after sorrow
the ashes of those who loved you, who went before
remain like particles
across the starry universe
~
look up and you will see them smiling down
look down and you will see the stardust shimmering
~
at your feet the waves curl dancing
an entire universe opens
the rush of sound from a shell held at your ear
the whisper of the blood rushing in your veins
~
you are alive
in the unconscious deeps of the world
swimming as the dancing fishes of thoughts swim
come to rest
only in the beautiful
the sheen of your inner heart
ablaze
~
thoughts blow like mist
words from your heart
polishing that languid line
we sleep in dreamtime
walk waking
into the round sun’s gladness
