Star Rider

Walking the sand

Touched by a starfish

A baby no less

Lying innocently in my path

Trusting me to pick it up

To carry it back to safety

I cradle the little one

It returns the touch

Wrapping gently around my palm

Holding me as I am holding too

I can feel the delicate nature of life force

Within this water star

Yet the impact on me is as big as all life itself

Such a tiny being carrying the All

Within its moveable star shaped body

What a gift to be holding

Living, breathing sparks of joy

Expanding my consciousness

A portal

Drawing me into the oneness

Simply being
