Gentle Awareness



Said
I am the sustainer of life
breathing it (the universe)
into life
breath by breath
the story unfolds
refolds
until familiar 
creases hold 
the dust of me

Said
attracted to words
my moth wings
flit closer
risk singeing
death
for a life giving touch 
of life 
giving light
brought by wisdom

Said
change you know
resist we may
but instinct draws us 
ever deeper into 
misty mysterious
archaeology of water

Said
initiation
into stories
brings excitement
remembering
olden knowing 
before I knew.
