Metaphysical Flows Through
gray silver-speckled stone
reflecting shadow and light
excavated from the waters
of Casco Bay along Shore Ave
in Peaks Island Maine
land only accessible by boat
Cairn Beach accessible on foot
spotlighting Whitehead Passage
sanded with sedimentary shale
ocean naturally smoothed away
rough edges, like time has done
to us, shaped sturdy like
the New England coast, rugged
weighty, feeding into the Atlantic, we
an aged family of three are like stones
tossed upon the beach to be stacked
knocked down, reformed and pointed
in different directions like a compass
a Wayfinder navigating us to a place
of healing, absorbing cues from stars
sun and ocean swells, navigating
challenges, guiding introspection
self-awareness, understanding values
and goals, finding purpose in a single
stone that acts like a mirror, reflecting
wholeness, its voice echoing longing
to journey towards regaining
sacred comfort by time
traveling toward
surfacing
souls
