Find out more about Kate and her work here:​Website: www.kategenevieve.comTwitter: @kategenevievePrasanna visited The Poetry Exchange in London. He is in conversation with The Poetry Exchange team members, Michael Shaeffer and Fiona Bennett.​Michael reads the gift reading of 'Seachange'.*SeachangeFor LPPerhaps we are riding the moon’s pathAlong the sea edgeWhere things are less clearAnd more alive?My heart as full as the seaFollows the shore line with certainty.For here is a path drawn by desire.A route touched by your darkness,And mine.Moon-struck.Lit up by her generosity,Touched by the light of strangersTogether with the old smile of wrinkled mountainsAnd all the living beings multiplying.Something special grows in the emptiness -Not innocence returned -But wholeness,Gold-seamed.this nightThis DayOn which so many doors fall open.Let go!The ocean ever rushes in to fill space revealedWith unforced irrepressible energy.We can no more control a life's storyThan we can command the animalsOr hold back the tidesOr ordain the fated meetings of the world.The door only opens at the right time.Instead, receive the gifts of sea-change:Take the moon-lit path along the shoreAnd meet what's fresh returning.At one with Earth's desiresAwake to everything that's growing.The mountain smiles.She knowsIt is more than time aloneHeals shattered pieces:It is the gift of other beings.For suffering dissolves into the fullness of night,With the memory that the dark bright nightShines with love.May all have eyes to see, ears to hear,This night -As full as the sea -Beyond sense and naming.
