Poems Revised For Fellow Eckists # 11 - A Walk (Revisited) Poem by Mike Barrett

A WALK
(Revisited 30 years later)

I
Walked
Along
The ocean shore
Atop
Convoluted sands,
Amid
Weakened rocks.

Atop
A huge
And weathered stone
I quietly observed
As new spawned waves
Were born
And then
Matured and died.

Silently
I stood
As they
Amassed, rose,
Curved and broke
In thunderous tortured roar!

Below,
I watched
As helpless grains of sand
Rushed aimless
To and fro -
Perceived
The parallels
To life itself -
Then smiled,
Smiled!

Note:
Grains of sand = unrealized Souls struggling
through the maya of lower worlds each on Its path
to Self and God realization.
