Black River

Brigi, sitting by Black River

I journeyed to the ancient grove.
I came here to be with you.
To immerse myself in body, spirit, and the mind.  

I sat beside you and I gazed.
I sat for hours, many days.
Until the moment I arrived.
Until I found my peace of mind.

Devoid of jitters, memories, and thoughts.
Just You and Me – no past, no time.

Little did I know,
How timeless is your flow.
You are the primal force,
The power that can set me free.
Free from the age of modern traps,
Back to the roots of who we are.

I sat beside you and I gazed.
I sat for hours, many days.
With Sunrays playing at my sight,
I received the blessings you’ve hummed
Since the dawn of Light:

‘Come – come to me and quench your precious thirst.
Flow – flow, and overflow with precious joy.

Yes – You,
Beloved, precious You.’

All is Grace!

Flutterby

Butterfly

Butterfly!
You fluttered by,
with wings that spread worldwide.

I cherished your glorious sight,
I witnessed your farewell flight.

With the strength of a final few heartbeats,
You peacefully landed on my shoulder,
and folded your colorful wings.

Your essence rose with ease and grace,
towards the eternal plane.
Your earthly wings remain –
in memory of what is here to stay.

As I celebrate your life,
Your wings reach wider,
I smile and fold my hands in prayer.

Butterfly!
You fluttered by,
with wings that spread worldwide.
