after the storms

shuffling over shifted Sands
tamed by thunderous Tides
until a Mysterious vision
through the Mystical Mist
captured my attention
caught me by surprise
a dark lump like a log
a white puff like a fog
drawing closer i saw
two black beady eyes
and a beak like a claw
an incarnate symbol
of a nation once united
now mostly (sadly) divided
i stopped in my tracks
(very much alive)
and silently gazed
my heart pumping overdrive
my Spirit amazed
as the wondrous wings
shuffled over shifted Sands
and the puff of a head
jerked suddenly my way
and our eyes briefly met
and we shared a quick blink
which appeared to me
to be more like a wink
and a nod to acknowledge
our Magical meeting
a subliminal greeting
as if to say
'thanks for honouring me
and my sacred Space
now i honour you
by flying away...'
and the way she ascended
so graceful i gasped
so majestic i marveled
with her wingspan extended
to welcome the Wind
and soar into the Sky
and embrace the Earth
like our Mother giving Birth
yet again
yet never
the same Way
and i turned 
and started my trot 
once again
and immediately came
to a father with child
upon his shoulders
all giggles and smiles
marveling at the moss
upon the boulders
singing with the seagulls
('mine! mine! mine!')
swaying with the Surf
and skipping with delight
over Sacred Sands
soaring with wondrous wings 
of a different
and similar kind
and pumping hearts
and inspired Souls
with crashing Waves
like clapping Hands
rumbling out the Rhythm
the Spirited Syncopation
of the inspiring Invocation
the Eternal invitation
to join together
as One Creation
in the Cosmic Dance
of the Divine.
