(from 2009)
I have looked on your face
long and hard
the mask, the mirror
I have drawn many conclusions
in and out
more song than my voice has room for
ecstatic, mystical moments are vaporized right now
because I miss you
in the craziest of ways
All your qualities enlisted by this memory
ask me again
I will tell you I love you
I speak to the cool grass
under bare feet
I speak to the shifting skies
under which we meet
I speak to the breezes lost and found
to the essence of the energies felt all around
and no matter where or who I turn to
it all leads me back to you
the truth of it spilling like rare jewels
sharing themselves, showing themselves
with abandon.
I am asking for guidance from all of these sources
I am watching the rise and fall, the undulating waves of these forces
and still, I lack conclusions because the ongoing questions stretch out
across valleys, over mountains and wild seas
devotion, compassion, love, forgiveness, are ingredients, all of these
promising beauty in the results
teaching new lessons and some of the same
sparkling in my eyes when I say your name
when will all the parts come together, with a knowing?
while I commit so many times, to never stop growing
Fragments of his dimension
Fall into the space between
Where we have been and
Where we were trying to go
Deep witness in a glance
Once frantic and wild
Now with a calming sound
Some of the chaos can subside
Calling on the Holy Spirit
Inside of moments you cannot fathom
This is a promise, a clarion call
At the very least a humble prayer
We open the space within
with our best inner sight
We start speaking into the light
Remembering the way home again
Blessings arising from the ocean
Moving across the dusty ground
Up into those distant stars.
Washing clean
the hands of Mother Mary gleam
glistening in the sun
She understands what we have done
and now we are here to have un-done
wearing our robes of archetypal wisdom
we are here for the big, long reveal
when the robes fall
and we stand innocent, naked, shining
ready to cleanse body, mind, soul
free of the violent chaos on mother earth
our bodies have remedies for the
cultural poisons
we were forced to swallow
Mother Mary breaks our chains by
administering just the right doses
of unconditional love
she guides us to the sacred caves
She blesses the ways
that are being renewed by devoted
healing intentions
It is time for us to tell the story
to weave the finer details into this
global tapestry
Consent is leading the way.
your lips
make their impression on mine
I hold the kiss
in an eternal bliss
knowing your heart beats to the
rhythm of this destiny
my arms still want you, ache for you
during moments when you are near enough
and far enough to bless my thoughts
and no fantasy could live up to our reality
like a tingling up your spine
becoming the energy pattern that liberates you
beaming with a love that creates you.
I see the grace move through you
like waves like water like wind like fire
I see the grace move you to move
like fire like plants grow like water flows
I see the grace inhabit you
filling up your form with light
I see grace integrating your shadow
blessing the past and bringing you into the present
I see the grace becoming you
and you move with it into each space
into each relationship
into each moment with ease
I see the grace enrapture you when you
see it in others,
in how they move like water and embody the fire
I see the grace light up your face
as lightning thunder rain storms and your understanding
of this force within, this force from below and above and in between
it comes when you need it, you begin to count on it
cultivating patience and humility
to be the vessel that you are.
May the peace I receive from Spirit ripple out to those needing it, may healing assistance follow that with as much power to cleanse and uplift as possible. With gratitude and humility, may I transmit healing energy at all times from the loving ancestors, from Angels and Loving Guides and all the powerful unseen forces of unconditional love. May I stand in the stream of this beauty surging through my own self, sharing it with other living beings.
