Fragments

In fragments lies wholeness, behold,
Embrace the curves, let truth unfold.
Empty vessels, fullest hearts, they find,
In letting go, true riches bind.

With nothing to prove, they guide our way,
In surrender, our selves we sway.
For in the other, our reflection clear,
Discovering who we are, sincere.

Footprints

Desire to soar, rooted to the earth’s embrace,
Without wings unfurling in the breeze’s grace.
Yearning to roam through untamed miles,
Yet tethered to stillness, amid nature’s trials.

Where does this longing lead, what truths unfold?
Here, in the walk, life’s stories are told.
No need to leave marks upon the ground,
For the journey itself, in silence, is found.

Life path

Streams cascade, onward they flow,
Merging might, a river they sow.
Guided by the call of distant shore,
To the ocean’s embrace, they implore.

Wind whispers, its force to wield,
A spirit’s dance, a tale revealed.
Binding life in its gentle sway,
In every breath, its touch will stay.

To quest like rivers, a journey grand,
Or blend in the canvas of the land.
Decide, embrace, let your essence unfurl,
In the fabric of existence, just be, and swirl.
