16 Aug One Together And One With Everything

We are asleep together in the winter

in the clouds between heaven and Earth

and awaken as snowflakes

falling on mountains high up.

In the spring we melt into water

flowing into distant rivers.

When the rivers meet in the ocean

we are together again,

one with the ocean which seems all there is.

Which is it but for those who know we are one with everything

before evaporating into the clouds.
