Vessels of light
In this life you have maybe minutes
(seconds)
it moves swiftly between our measured quantities
This being human
the joys the sorrows
the anticipation the revelry
the buoyant the petty
the magic the solitude
the blessing the challenge
Can you embrace them all….. as a river running through
In the finite of your breathing…..can you find the cracks of light
perception
seek them out
everything concurrently a vessel of light
we merge
unfold
every person
creation of nature
object-word-deed-thought
illumination and darkness
exploring the balance
now
lose the words
now
stray into these shadows of light
untangle mind
grow the heart
this is ours
yes
this journey
this breath

Jacqueline, this took me to wonderful places
as I listened
to my own voice reading your work aloud.
And then I felt a little scared. This is a special
piece
and loaded with specialness.
I cannot stop reading this, it reaches far into me. It is crisp like a beautiful winter day.
Beautiful!! Truly truly…..
I would love to hear this set to a rhythm or some music. So beautiful, lyrical, true. . . .

🙂 Nice!!!! 🙂
