old news is new

round and round and round we go.
enter the dragon, liquify the fire
and magnetize the salt, salinate these
oceanic emotional waves, watered tears
gardening lunar fruit, flow now
with passion toward a rebirth,
reborn.

this is nothing new.
this is completely new.
this land, this sea, this air,
these mountains and forests,
birds and beasts, friends, family,
lovers, this time and place,
a familiar tune with an evolving rhythm:
i have lived this before
and i will live it through again,
i will die within the framework
of this eternal song.

so magnificent, so precious,
so uncommonly worthwhile,
and all the while i am on the shore
with my heart and its roots,
i am witness and participant to this
highest lived moment.
i am forever growing inside and out,
declaring my love for this, declaring
my melancholy banner of personal ecstasy.
