All Is in Balance
(Inspired by the painting "She Slept Like a Log" by Holly Kallie)
The water's current is a lullaby,
The air brushes her hair in sleep.
The wood's grain welcomes floating dreams -
exquisite balance.
Beautiful dreamer,
with peach skin warmed by the sun,
let deep waters stir beneath you,
so that waking life may carry the torch.
With an essence so clear
that a bed of stones
reflects stardust at night,
your center shines with purpose -
a beacon to the heavens.
All is in balance
in this restful, water reverie.
With cupped hands,
carry your heart's light
to the body's temple,
and offer up
the balm of peace you seek -
to others.
May this lapping at the shore
of love's haven
be our cradle.
