Touchstone

By Michael Faulkner

Dancing endlessly upon the clouds,
a chariot of fire,
a timeless beauty,
a perfect balance.

The five folds of nature
are echoed in your eyes,
from the days when the gods
descended to earth and brought humanity
gifts from the heavens,
you have always shown us grace under pressure.

Calm like a gentle flowing stream,
you ride the wind.
you are the way of water,
the yang,
the center;
your wisdom beckons those who dream.

An invitation to mysteries.
