The post were this poem first appeared can be found here:

There is a coming tide –
It will consume the clouds and cover the sky
Dawning arrives as the sun sets and curtains are shut; beginning and end indistinguishable – It is time
Come away, do not be so close.

The tree looked and looked for its mother in what was becoming a feeble search
Its child clung on holding tight with thin tentacles
Feeling strangled the tree tried to find life elsewhere
Turning to its roots only to see that they too had grown to be the tree spread across its branches
Looking to find life the roots clung tighter
The tree had none to give and so spread its arms to the heavens
Maybe mother isn’t real, the tree finally thought.
Two worlds: one looking to find life, one looking to hold onto it

The little bird, weary and tired, came and sat on the branch
I will find cover under the great blue, it quipped
These waters are not of this land: fast approaching, angry, sad and high.
High oh so high no flight can save me
And so it was that the little bird looked up at the great blue once more only to see
The globe had stopped spinning
In that moment the universe understood what it was like to fly up alone, and for the first time
The cloud was carrying the sun

Between the coming tide and the cloud that carried the sun
Which should weep for the world
And shed tears to water the tree
When the globe starts spinning once more, to what will the little bird look up to see
When the wind howls and the tree dances the sacred dance of life
What sway will give freedom from the deep firm underground?

Dawning arrives as the sun sets; beginning and end indistinguishable
Between the coming tide and the cloud that carried the sun –
Lie two worlds that have grown to be one – holding onto and looking for life.
Death and eternity have always been in the middle
And unto them all judgement will be conferred
For death and eternity have never known the face of freedom
They are the children of life, descendants of existence
Slaves of creation
They did not come away at the beginning and close of time
