Leleuvia Island, Fiji
August 2006

Found my pen...back again

contemplations from a lonely soul
set adrift on the aqua-green
sea of change

dark clouds move swiftly
covering the once
luminously blue
crystal sky
with a twinge (?) of
grey saddness and
insecurity about
the approaching weather patterns

Will the wind
gather together its force
of change
and sweep upon us
like an angry kitten
always ready for a good tustle
...
or will it gently
rock us back
to the womb-like state
of sleep and serenity?

But oh look
the sun has regained
her composure
and has slyly revealed
her all-knowing self
back through the
melancholy
grey
clouds

She doesn't want to
give up that easy!
...not today at least
for this is
the kingdom of the sun
and we know she won't
give up
her territory
that easily!

Besides...
she's not like
the moon
disappearing
for days
on end
to the point where
the stars become
the only reminder of nighttime

No
of course
she will share
her playground
with the clouds
as long as they
keep to the rules
that is!
playing
hide and seek
is all good fun
but not when
the clouds become
too powerful
too cohesive

No
she doesn't have much patience
for that
No
the sun is
the expansion of
the ego
the self
the power trip
we only dream about
on those days...
when we just can't seem
to find our
voice
our self-expression

For don't we all want to shine?
