I trust in the light
of the Universe
to guide me
to where
I seek
to Grow.
I trust in the taste
of my own tears
The swell of my own blood
Each embodied emanation
releasing from me
the ancient trail of shame.
Blessed body,
Nourish me from my sacred well.
Restore to me
my secret reservoir.
I clasp the chalice of my precious Rose.
I drink of my own divinity.
So, then
So hum
I bow and draw breath
finding my tether
finding in the balance
in the in and out
in life and death
This holy vibration
Beating my heart
A hollow drum
resonating
from the inside out.
I bow deep
to the sacred Flame
to the hearth that birthed me
to the womb that loved me
And to my tomb I lay me
And at my mother’s breast I kneel me
Where with my last breath I give me
Return myself to Infinite Source.
But until then
I beg thee,
All kin stay awhile
and tarry with me
As I stoop
kindling my twigs in the Great Fire
Shrouded and swaying
My old bones
and my ancient skin decaying
a subtle form dissolving & dispersing
like sand
like countless stars
winking and waving
glimmering pearls scattered
on the ocean floor.
