Deep Simplicity

Deep Simplicity

All the way in,
you are there,
have always been.
I join you along the shores
of our serene lake.
We sit together as one,
realigning in full and novel ways
as ravels release once again.
I settle into our
comfortable connection,
feel the sturdiness of my craft.
 That which once held fast,
gripped hard,
            pulled tightly
                                tenderly ripples away
                                        in currents of quiet.
I breathe
                 and stretch
                    and fill.
    I drift
                         without care
                                or concern.
I feel a happy glow
                 as I recognize the
                            deep simplicity of
                                         resting in the love
                                            that is you,
                                                            that is me.
