THE WAVES

The waves of phenomena
Crash on the surface
Sometimes wild
Sometimes calm

I know these waves
I thought I was them

Until I looked into them
And saw deeper below
Into the depth of the ocean
Of which the waves
Were just a part

Once I had seen 
How the waves really were
I could no longer
Find myself in them

For I had become the ocean itself
Of course there was still a waving
The phenomena still playing itself out
But I never forgot the source of those waves

Thus my life came to a rest.
