WHIRLPOOL ZEN

From Sherry Harmes and Zois (USA)

Inside the whirlpool

my breath does not feel lost

I feel one with the species

of the universe surrounding sun and moon

Inside the water

my birthday became fish

looking for shells and pebbles

and the tickling of tad-poles

Inside the tree

I felt the egg of time

and I knew I was ready to die

fearless and in peace.

Guido Vermeulen, July 2012

Comments by Sherry Harmes and Elizabeth Zois:

Elizabeth and my art card inspired this poem? Fantastic!!!  Hugs from Alaska,  Sherry

Dearest fearless and in peace, You leave me breathless, and now this ray of light. Inside the egg the yellow glow spreads the tickle of life into the universe in you. Every tree standing will contain you, the light ball of pebble and shell, exerting outward love and fearless peace. Elizabeth Zois July 2012
