Golden Cinquain


lost dream
gone in a flash
nothing left but feelings
there is nothing left but ashes
ever

ever
waking moment
dreaming of a lost life
in some parallel universe
resting

resting
calm engulfs me
every cell is smiling
waves come crashing on the shoreline
silence

silence
in the morning
birdsong breaking the spell
restlessness comes with the morning
calling

calling
over the hills
listening for echoes
longing for the distant whisper
comfort

(i) lost dream
waking moment
every cell is smiling
restlessness comes with the morning
comfort

miracle
everyday life
living for every day
focusing on the needful things
gently

gently
learning to sit
calmness is everything
manifestation of heaven
present

present
in the moment
long enough to savour
music behind the promises
singing

singing
songs of morning
blissfully awaken
resting in peaceful between states
music

music
noting silence
finding the harmony
joyfully running together
as one

(ii) miracle
learning to sit
long enough to savour
resting ion peaceful between states
as one

moving
out of the dream
into the wakefulness
senses awakening slowly
movement

movement
into the day
gently start unfolding
wings that have never been opened
promise

promise
new day dawning
what will you do today
with this one precious life given
jump in

jump in
every moment
lived to the maximum
spent in the service of others
loving

loving
spending it all
giving it all away
never stopping to count the cost
gladly

(iii) moving
into the day
what will you do today
spent in the service of others
gladly

garden
haven of peace
constantly challenging
dreaming of life in the moment
dying

dying
being reborn
endless cycles of life
constantly looking for freedom
elsewhere

elsewhere
awakening
across the universe
stirring some life into being
water

water
trapped in the land
looking for its mother
cutting through the tallest mountain
easy

easy
coming back home
rejoicing in the dawn
coveting the precious moment
smiling

(iv) garden
being reborn
across the universe
cutting through the tallest mountain
smiling

endings
unmasked mornings
stirring up potential
showing the way to go forward
by chance

by chance
reality
opens the way forward
sitting in the cool of the day
waiting

waiting
for nothing else
everything is in me
seedlings of the universal
watered

watered
sprouting to life
needing only nurture
growing in the silent darkness
movement

towards the light
coming to the surface
manifesting endless glory
brightly

(v) endings
reality
everything is in me
growing in the silent darkness
brightly

learning to sit
what will you do today
cutting through the tallest mountain
