Life's Endless Dance

Life dances endlessly... As should we.

As to an unplanned eternal rhythm.
Subatomic vibration creating mass and density, the very particles from which all of life's forms are made move to the beat of Mother Earth.

Leaves sway to and fro as earth exhales, the rippling of the oceans, lakes and rivers as she breathes in deep.
Clouds move slowly above as if guided by chance, their shadows creep gently across the face of our home, shading and cooling.
Temperature rises and falls as sun and moon pass through horizons, the warmth of sun and the light of moon so perfectly balanced.

Seeds soften as rain falls, and in natures patient time, through cyclic eons, a wise new oak will have it's own leaves dance and it's own seeds fall.

Rivers carve landscapes as they slither like serpents, teeming with life, the rhythmic movement of the fishes fins swimming against her current. No plans, only to live.

We should strive to live like this. Patiently and free, moving with ease and unrestricted by what may lay before us, not being disheartened by obstacles or change.

Simply keep moving to whatever beat we can hear or feel throughout our lives.
We hold such tainted views of perfection. The only "true north" is the direction you are currently facing, don't be disheartened if you think you have blown off course, perhaps what lay ahead of you is more wonderful than you could have imagined.
Natural, rhythmic, cyclic impermanence is the true reference point for perfection.

There is so much wisdom all around us if we simply take the time to listen and look.
The earth is a beautiful teacher.

Bless you all
Namaste

I love the science feel to this poem. I am a science mind myself. Great work. My favorite part is "the earth is a beautiful teacher".
