I Saw the Sky Today

I saw the sky today

clouds moving slowly

coming together to meet each other.

A peaceful feeling

knowing my life is much like that.

Me, lying here, the sky above

I close my eyes and feel

the sun warming my body, my face.

Thank you for the sky, the peace

which is me.

I open my eyes and again find the sky

the peace that I am not separate from.

The sky that is above and below

here radiating as part of myself.

How simple this peace is

reflecting, being the still, unnamable presence,

not separate from my wholeness,

appearing as my perception of the sky.

So unexpected, this moment coming to me.

I name this unnamable wholesness - the sky.
