rock solid you are
no end or beginning
sea caverns beneath
sky spaces above
all of these speak you
to me
your love is movement
like shimmering aspens
wind wafting grass
splashing white water
freely crashing
healing
sealing each rupture
with fire and kindness
in the stillness
glory shouts
you are here
present
everywhere around
and deep inside
my yearning soul
paradox abounds
and I cry
holy
