In the garden

My poem from a monthly workshop I host – the prompt was, ‘Philosophy of Life.’

‘In the Garden’

((the prompt was: Philosophy of Life))

This fleeting moment, life – travelers, passing through.

Each breath, a whisper, each step, a dance.

No destination, the journey is the goal.

The universe conspires with love – let go of control.

Every smile, every tear bears fruit.

Plant kindness, let wildflowers bloom.

Do not search for love – lover and beloved stand together.

Sky, bright clouds drift and dissolve.

Why cling to shadows?

Walk gently, speak sweetly, love fully – be a little more infinite.

Be here, now.

Mindful, you are enough.

You are a drop and the ocean – there is no separation.

In silence, hear truth.

Oneness weaves us together, tethers us here.

The light you seek is within – be luminant, radiant and giving.

Become a wick, set your soul on fire.

Flicker in the Unseen Wind.
