We are the boundless sky
Everything else just passes by
Like clouds and clown cars
Hours and shooting stars
Lightning flashes wind an ashes
Thunderclaps and summer camps
We are the everlasting air
Everything else is so fleeting and rare
Like rainbows and volcanoes
Thick fog and sick smog
Morning mists and solar eclipses
We are the beloved earth
From which everything is given birth
From fair flowers to rotting fruits
Rare encounters with inscrutable roots
Leaf, sap, limb, and tree
Compost, dirt, worm debris
Forests, mountains, and rivers
A chorus of a thousand singers
We are the bottomless sea
Where everything swims wild and free
Whales, fish, and seahorses
All surf the same marine forces
Awake or asleep in riptides or ripples
They make and keep their aqua life simple
When steep waves plunge deep in blue foam
Leap brave lunge sleek in your salty sweet home
We are ineffable groundless reality
Everything else has no continuity
Like candle flames and fun and games
Dewdrops at dawn vanish to be reborn
Like laughter and bubbles, water in puddles
Daydreams and ice-cream
Nightmares and cried tears
Whether mirage or fantasy
Montage or insanity
Fairytales or phantoms
Merry tales or tantrums
Don’t be tricked and deluded
Mixed up or colluded
By the magic show of your mind
By a tragic attachment to linear time
Be one clear open sky, a limitless Ventana
Choiceless unhindered with imageless panorama
Unobstructed creativity in uninterrupted infinity
Fulfill your sacred destiny
Live in timeless spontaneity
Respond in action from wisdom
Beyond abstraction and the reaction of systems
See through the cocoon of concepts
Be who you truly are immune to the contexts
When gratitude is taught and found in every breath
The multitude of thought calms down in life and death
– Colin Farish
