Moving with the Tao

Where pelicans fly in a straight line

At the edge of the jetty, I rest on a flat rock with shivering bones of an early morning

Like a curious gull, I sit and listen while the sea around me speaks in windblown words and broken spells, and ships capsized and beached

On a tide of choppy entropy, our earth takes a heavy toll, as it shrinks in space, eluding peace, before the universe gets its wake-up call

Only pelicans fly in a straight line, skimming the surface of the water, teachers of the sea, movers of the Tao

Unlike us, who live without seeing, failing to learn life’s lessons, refusing to take the cue, from nature’s wisdom.
