Poem For Sam Poem by Eric Cockrell

Poem For Sam



'always going, never arriving.'
i've thought about this one
for a while.
and i think there's another step!

the bare limbed tree in winter,
frozen branches, no sign
of life.

and yet beneath the surface,
life is forming, having been lost,
begins again!

perfect stillness.
no need for going,
or arriving ... you're
already there!

all that is life
is present.
what you seek for
you already are!

take off your shoes,
lay down your pack,
and embrace each breath.

the tides come in
and go out.
but the ocean remains!
