Arrival Meditation
Deep currents stir.
Distant waves break.
What lies beyond, draws near.
Bearing endless gifts.
I'm lost in a dream
Chasing desires
Escaping fears
Clinging to small things.
The knock at the door
Brings warm rays and peace.
I'm naked and ashamed.
Afraid to accept.
Masks fall away, as
The child re-awakens.
A smile fills the room
My heart opens wide.
Nowhere to go
Nothing to get
Each breath relaxes
Each moment lingers.
I dwell in the light
I rest in my self
I now know the secret
The smile is my own.
