Sheltered & Protected

We are all nothing more than a movement within a motion of water forming currents in the ocean;

we are insignificant.

Thrown into consciousness, left alone with this ancient

incomprehension,

& the glacial erasure of indifference; the unutterable excess & erosion of existence.

Each confrontation with the void, inside & beyond time & space; every spin of the wheel depletes a small piece…

…but I am not alone:

you are here too, & as the opalescent light of your eyes open wide, all I see is this moment;

all that exists is the two of us together, laying here below my bedroom window,

sheltered & protected beneath rainfall music…
