What can I say
Every human has
unfathomable
potential for
success
But always remember
The past has gone by
except for the silent
murmurings of
dissipating nostalgia
Yet consciousness
flows to reinvent our
being within the
cascade of time

And don’t fantasise
niceties of the future
while leaving the
present in shambles,
tattered and torn

So be the children of
the moment
Ever blessed with
reverberating
inspirations
Glimpsing the fleeting
image of Eternity
passing our way

So be the children of
the now
Whence unity of being
accentuates the
quintessence of
self within Self

For you are the
meandering stream
of humble beginnings
Laden with primordial
knowledge and
spiritual discerning
Enjoining the gushing
river to the calling of
the wide, open sea
And taste the subtle
mingling of sweet
and salty waters of
life

Yet layers of invisible
waves upon waves
ascending to meet
the glistening sky
While descending
waves creep into
absolute darkness
To meet incessant
rumblings of
volcanic inferno
Lighting the mystical
uncharted terrain

And so … be the
untamed beauty and
majesty of the sea
With flashes of
enchanting potential,
transforming this
demanding world
