Shoreline

Do you want to turn the tide ?

Then stand alone on a shoreline,

your own shoreline,

where worlds meet without witness.

Face the enormity of it all.

All your own dark places,

all that is beyond control,

this shore where sea meets sand

is where we are human,

in meeting places,

the Vesica Piscis of two beings.

Don't drown, move slowly, easily,

safely in tidal motion.

Stay on the shore of yourself,

simply in awareness, idly watch the tide turn,

there's nothing to do,

tidal movement happens on its own,

it’s easily missed.
