Beneath the opening skies



Beneath the opening of the sky
Lightness of being of unending light
Lost in the history of minds long gone

In the stillness of dawning night
Trembling leaves over time
Fleeting as tattered lights
Through the confines of what we knew
 
Listening  to musical notes of water
Begin to hear the opening within
 
Growing life created through the
Streams beyond  the future present
Transcends what we know
to be lost then be found
In the silence of present selves
