Come to be

Posted on Nov 30, 2015 in Poetry

I did not come to enslave myself to fear,
Money, work, power, bricks and mortar, some
Grand plan of achievement and purpose

To partner myself in the dance of endless
Joy and self-expression so contagious,
So outrageously de-light-full
That humanity cannot help but tap
Its own feet in remembered rhythm

We are able to let go, because even for a few moments we know absolutely that we don’t need to support ourselves. Think back to your own childhood or your children, and how a firm but gentle embrace can quieten and soften the most wound up, over-tired, and over-stimulated little one.

Faces of enigmatic mystery
Suffusing shadows with luminous smiles
As a lure to the liminal.
Draw near to the far
They urge,
Draw near to the far.

There is another aspect to this journey,
