SEEING
29 April 2012

Dreaming into the light
swimming
flying
embracing
touching
the spreading
awareness
warm light
light
losing self in the light
light
finding the harmony of balance
in namaste and ubuntu
and the messages of the clouds
in the light
light
spreading
amongst tall sunpainted autumn grasses
inhaling the unconscious grace
of a giraffe melting into
the late afternoon gold
of light caressing the shadows
and drawing them
into the light
light light . . .

Had to look up ubuntu, but the rest of the poem was crystal clear to me as you wove perfection within the lines of this reaching out piece of poetry . . .
