Undercurrents

Just as the tides of

ocean sweep away

the edges where land

meets sea

The tides of time

sweep away the corners

where known ground

meets currents

Reminding me of the

breath of it all

I cannot hold it

cannot keep this breath

Just as I cannot keep

all that is around me-

stasis an illusion

permanence a farce

Change, like tides known

undercurrents we ride

stallions of metamorphosis

Some still in chrysalis sleeping

some now waking

some now born from the dream

with wings this day
