I wanted to share mine this week…

Waves of an Ocean Under a Full Moon

Full, again, there is this cyclical magic

each month. I feel the tears welling, waves,

my own hands open to them. In the

center, there is love, which is all there has

ever been, always been. Tides, a teacher,

I look at the reflection in the great expanse.
