The Voice says quietly
"Well done"
And what says it better
Than the mighty Atlantic
Watching the waves flirt
With the sky
As the sun fades away
(No ocean sunsets here).
Sometimes the smallest things
The most mundane
The least glamorous
Make the most difference
Make lives last longer
Make human bonds stronger
And even those dainty things
Are part of the great adventure
The discovery of infinities
Identities we never imagined were ours
How to comprehend
Events unfolding severing ties
Strange goodbyes
Joyful Hellos
New players on the stage
We are living in an age
Of endless tomorrows
Yet focused on todays
Because today is in our hands
To build or quietly watch
The stars and clouds
And even the waves.
And as I remember
One adventuress told me
Always remember holds the key
While never forget blurs your focus
The words of the Teacher
Before Abe was, I AM
Reveal an equal truth
Before our todays, WE ARE
Grafted into infinity
And with that knowledge
We truly can heal the sick
Give sight to the blind
As we wash each other's feet
Or just clean their house
Or whatever our energy can supply
To turn a watery broth
Into a hearty soup
And after bowls are emptied
And bellies are filled
We look up and say
Well Done.
