"Sound (Beaming) Forward"

There's a hush in the wind
that braids my hair in soft weaves.
There's a voice that echoes in the woods.
It is the Mother before any other mother
"Keep breathing," she says,
"and look at the core before there were surroundings,"
the light before the dark.

"But I've never seen the light," I lean back
against her swollen belly.
She smiles and points to the singing
dolphins painted on the stone wall.
"They did not know they would produce music
but to our ears it is beautiful.
To them it is language."

She whispers a note in my ear and urges me
to sing. I've never sung before, but my mouth
lays open and slack; a bubble of sound weighs
heavy above our heads.

"Send it forward."

There's a fire the woman builds that
shadows my cheeks.
The sparks ignite my face.
"It's time to open your eyes."
I think, perhaps, she is right.
That the light might
bend back to me.

A star at dawn, a bubble in a stream;
A flash of lightning in a summer cloud,
A flickering lamp, a phantom, and a dream." The Buddha
