I dream of surfing and tidal waves
my breath is the rhythm of the ocean
breaking on a distant shore
as Neptune rises from the sea
luminous in the mist
it was the end of summer
the sunset was smoky and pink
and the air warm
I could see fires appear on the beach
one by one as darkness fell
and the moon gained in light
soon to be full
someone is watching through my eyes
awareness looking through me
watching the ocean, fires, the whole of life
from a place beyond knowing
speaking and acting through me
memories of moonlight pass through my mind
like a flock of geese across the sky
sand dunes and shadow in the pale of the moon
a moon reflecting pool at twilight
lying on our backs talking to the moon
and then listening for a response
I am pulled by an unseen force
into the unknown
creating itself
even as it creates me
creating my life as I go along
even as the movie is playing
leaving behind a trail of memories
like footprints that crumble into dust
never looking back
gazing down the curve of the coast
as a glowing fire edges it's way closer
the trails of a summer meteor shower
and the silence of a comet
the ethereal light before a snowstorm
and Christmas lights shining faintly
through a thin layer of snow
all reflections of the warm glow
from inside
that illuminates darkness
like a thousand suns
that neither rise nor set
the light of the world
the radiance of pulsing stars
shining through my eyes and heart
like soft healing colors
through a stained glass window
as night follows day
dawn becomes dusk
I walk out into the water
following an unseen light
and never return
