“Living and Dying” by Jen Curry

This body lays stiff…
As, silent… as stone….
Yet… as monumental…
as internal space.

Like, memory it is time bound.
Resonating…. through…
ages, eons and epochs….

It arises… grows… unfolds
passes and transforms
beyond expression…

Dissolves…. into the earth.
Becoming air, drying water
melting in eternal flames.

Releasing thoughts… as they linger….
soaking in the ocean of innocence….
Dispelling myths, confusion and conditioning.

Possessed within destiny’s longing…
yearnings to relieve suffering….
Connects fragments and facets
into loving wholeness.

Unshaken or shattered by emotion…
Dwells peacefully in nature’s essence…
Before reemerging into form… once more.
