A New Year's Day Song

by hernamewasjoanne
 Age Group: Adult

I am the dance of dragonflies On a rippling pool Of changing formation Where Morning star Crescent moon Alone shine through A new year Dawn sky Where in the moving clouds Angels abide I am the first bird’s song I am the shooting light Across the night I am the wishing flower Free with the breeze I am the deer bellowing Unseen in the shadow I am the thunder On the mountain I am the morning ducks Quiet on the pond I am peace’s midnight chant The sweet Pali tones I am the poetry I am the kindness I am love’s reflected gaze I am the silence I am the gentle Birth and death of moments I am the union And I am the separation I am the cool wind Of truth’s exclamation I am the reaching out I am the falling away I am the cupped hands Holding sacred I am the knowing I am the trust I am the surrender
 Author's Notes: I spent New Year's Eve at The Buddha Bodhivana Monastery. I am always grateful for the mirror of Peace that the monks who reside here hold for us all through their committment to the practice of meditation. They are known as forest monks and for good reason. Although Buddhism this life is not my soul home, too wild and sensual are my god and goddess, I always feel like a well received visitor in a kind neighbouring country. Thus my tribute with this poem.
