With body yet can’t be touched or seen
A fragrant essence unknown to any nose
Incomparable intimacy easily overlooked
Expansive beyond comprehension
Always with us
Yet often forgotten
Creativity beyond expression
The spark that can’t be extinguished
Here is our guide who does not intrude
Inspiring the beholder of beauty and goodness
Without bringing attention to itself
Irrepressible even in toil and trouble
To lay our grief before its silent presence
We find new depths of compassion
Offering it our weariness or despair
We realise resilience, hope and faith
Fear of loss dissolves in it’s eternal fullness
Affirming the imperishable
It embraces our fragility
Prompting care and compassion for all
Greater transcendence invites us to be bolder
As overwhelming inevitabilities make us falter
A journey through time and getting older
Elusive joy buoys the frailty of form
The more at stake invested in these unseen hands
That always support through testing trials
Comes knowledge and certainty of purpose
In every nudge that stirs us to hold our own
When there’s no more to loose
We find nothing is lost
Then love without cause reveals
The most loved of loves
The dearest friend of friends
Who is always at our call
When the eyes to see are opened
What more is there but be its offer each moment
Purpose arises in sharing the silent treasures
From a simple gesture in being present
To delight as a creative channel flows forth
From non-resistance to being its hand and voice
Thank you to this ever new mystery
To those who play its precious parts
May we all align to its boundless presence
Through gifted minds and hearts
