Return to the Ocean
I awoke to the full moon
Beaming a pathway
Across the wood floor
The whales were calling me
Plaintive, unrelenting,
“Come, come with us
We will take you on a journey
And show you from where you came
You, Capricorn, the Sea Goat
Know that you came from among us
And as your life on land is
Nearing its end
It will be soon time to
Return to this Ocean of Livingness
Come join us.”
I walked naked, to the shore
And swam out to a joyful embrace.
