for the Third Pitch

i'm not thinking baseball

but i am thinking

about pitching

and catching

Sound and Music

internal

(and sometimes infernal

yet always Eternal)

within our Psyche

and Soma

and Spirit

one pitch

up high

our system

of nerves

one pitch

down low

our circulation

of blood

heard only when

we are still

enough to hear

the wailing

of our fear

the whelming

of our faith

like when we lay

us down to sleep

and pray to God

our souls to keep

us safe and sane

in fathoms deep

when all we want

to do is weep

we breathe and sigh

a silent cry

the low vibrations

meet the high

in a primal

and powerful

Earthy and Heavenly

Resonance

and the veil

between the Earth

and Sky

and Time and Space

is torn apart

and disappears

without a trace

for a few

miraculous moments

a Third Pitch

harmonizes the other two

into in Symphony

of Spirit

in Silence

a synthesis

of systems

in Balance

a reminder

of the ever-Presence

of our Center Space

our Home Base

not the pitching

of a strike

or a ball

but the catching

of a Convergence

of the here and now

into the emergence

of the All in All

where all are safe

at Home...

Thanks.

Amen.
