The sea has many changes.

It is the mood of Shiva...the dance
of his breath -
the rise and fall of worlds
before his touch.

It is the mystery known...and of that which remains
unknowable.

Stripped to the bareness of
our intimacies -
We stand naked before this sea...yearning always
towards the farthest shore.

And seek to cloak ourselves in
prayers of safe passage.

The sea has many changes.

Yet there is stillness in
its depths.

We offer ourselves to that which
stands changeless -

And face the sea together...as the water parts
before our touch.

Though there may be ripples on the surface, life is peaceful and still within.

Beautiful... thought-provoking... illuminating the way for soul searching, finding that sweet inner peace- something we all desperately need about now.

Thank you...

Love,
Moca

Very deep, very philosophical and calming.

(big hugggsssssss) And the ticket to ride is to dive for pearls deep in the stillness of the waters, for only when we embrace the calm waters will we ever achieve justice! (sigh) This is absolutely wonderful, sweet friend, you have my peaceful vote, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Eric, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

You masterfully create this place where stillness and oneness with the Divine breath make us strong, filled with peace, trust and hope.
May I hold your hand while we face the sea together?
Love, Margherita

There is so much depth in the sea, and I feel I felt the same depth through this poem, great writing.

Sometimes we have to follow a stronger voice, even if it's silent.
