Always Something

11/5/09

Upon awakening each day

and even while dreaming

life meets us fully,

no turning it off

until last breath expelled,

though probably there's more

within interim of passing

into next world waiting,

perhaps an ethereal lull

where we witness events,

those grieving over us

if people are attending

to necessary final moment,

or when dying alone

there is other recognition

of miracle existence surrounding,

as Nature, her beauty,

that has forever nurtured,

fed with so much,

sustaining the physical body

teaching through cycles, seasons,

in myriad of ways

which revealed deeper connections,

our inner landscaped environ 

so fully lived in,

housing mind, emotions, spirit,

it often escaped detection

but continually produced results,

always something to contemplate.
