Spirit Meditation

I saw my spirit in the sea

that spirit would not come with me

‘I do not walk on earth’, said she

I turned my back and searched.

I joined my spirit in the sand

that spirit would not take my hand

Said ‘I dont stay long where I land’

I folded up my arms and searched.

I heard my spirit in the sky

that spirit would not tell me why

nor how her soul had come to fly

I dared not jump but on I searched.

I touched my spirit in the flame

another I had hoped to tame

it scorched my dream but never burnt

I sat in search of what I’d learnt.

I rocked my spirit to and fro
In boughs where fear had come to grow
Though all the while my spirit sang
I only heard the Shadowman.

I asked the Blue Boy 'bout that song
To find I'd known it all along
Thought spirits chorused by the sea
I never heard till I swam free.

My spirit found me on my own

asked me to tell what I’d been shown

and there we sat, without a clue

I don’t no where but how we flew.
