Parting Waves

The world shapes me

And I begin to shape it

In return, we flow into

One another in grace

I was once battered

Blown about like sand,

Like paper in the wind

I was no one – nothing

I parted myself

Water drops sprinkle

Glinting through the sky

As they make way for rocks

Now with love all has

Become so new, so warm

I have for myself the love

I always held for others

Now I am the star

The planets orbit me

I am the solid, the stable

Part of myself

Everything else is water

I am the rock now, and

It all parts before me.
