a turning of the light (for kao) we walk along a path of borrowed light sometimes shades of gray, sometimes colored bright each moment building stories that we find will echo in the pathways of our mind we trace our days in shapes of sand and stone some will long endure, some are overthrown but something deeper always holds us fast unbroken threads that link us to the past what seems to end is only passing through so let it drift off, out into the blue just as we know that day must follow night it was just a turning of the light we sit here on a quiet ocean shore find every rising tide an open door and in the constant rhythms that we see imagine all that we would hope to be the steady pulse of waves in motion charts out a course of plain devotion as open hands give guidance to the surge let open hearts be grateful for the urge what seems to end is only passing through so let it drift off, out into the blue just as we know that day must follow night it was just a turning of the light what awaits in far horizons wide worlds that echo those we build inside unknown places hold a quiet call : learn to see the beauty of them all in every breath we get a brand new start when every heartbeat is a work of art as things arise and fall, learn to let go something new can then begin to grow what seems to end was only passing through let it drift off, out into the blue as we know that day must follow night it was just a turning of the light rjh 22mar2026 ~ artwork by pam, "meditative garden"
