Same Ocean

A poem about the oneness of being.

many streams lead to the very same ocean
vapor rising toward heavenly realms
clouds rain light-infused tears
kindness showers graciously
upon faces and hearts up-
turned with humility
receiving blessings
in open surrender
present
if only for
a single breath
gratitude unfolds
a soft petaled prayer
emerging newborn wet
from lips salty and sweet
soaked by the light-infused
tears

Many people look out at the ocean and see only the distance of a separation. But all earthly waters meet there so that it brings everything together.
