Not Far From the Moon

Not far from the moon,

Jupiter winked back,

and I started to fly,

up and higher

stretching out to darkness,

wanting to go in,

longing to vanish in cool

blackness peppered with

diamonds

Ahhh

The journey continued,

bright star super nova

approaching, engulfing,

each piece of illusion

burned into comet tails,

there I go again, oh

lost another one.

Then renaissance,

blazing eruption

and

here I am again,

another blast off,

another star birth,

zooming toward earth.

Landing with grace and ease,

peaceful arrival,

I'm captured again,

but laugh as I'm held,

smile as I play

cosmic dramas,

always safe,

always peace,

knowing.

And still,

I love stars.

Remembering

Come here.

I'm going to become the widest ocean,

darkness and silence,

penetrating all barriers,

Listening

Witnessing

Welcoming

Experiencing

the story of you,

Loving you,

as

no other.

Watching,

as you turn yourself

inside out

and outside in again.

Never knowing

exactly what or

who or why.

No matter.

The deepest sea cannot unwelcome,

cannot reject Itself.

It can only be

you.

And that's when you forget,

and you disappear,

and the ocean remembers..

We Are The Way

I thought I was a sprinter

it turns out I'm an

endurance runner

that's how god dreamed me

burnt up

broken open

washed and died

shatter me

shatter me

so that I can drown

in the liquid gold

pouring

from pale pink

wounds

that never were

rising up

everything is new

and I know

nothing

joyful relief, it is

feeling

that heals, after all

we didn't know

we are innocent

there is really nothing there

and yet

here we are

swirling in twisted ecstasy

posing as grief

loss separation

and love

love

love

no choice but to be

lightning searches

relentlessly

for the ground

it'll find a way

we are the way
