Oh, touch my heart, deeper, and deeper still….
Take me to the unknown, whisper truths in my ear
Take my hand, join me intimately, be ‘here’ completely
May I have courage to enter the unknown-
From formless to form and back again,
Immersed so deeply so that I may not be able to
Detect the delectable delights of the form
From the permeating energy of the formless.
Both, balanced, simultaneously-
Poised in the moment, and the moment proceeds
For hours and days- loving, processing and being….
Beyond the mind, yet including the mind
Excluding nothing… Accepting all of me
Rebirthed into myself over and over again
The joy, the grief, the knowing, the exploration,
The passion, the pain, the bliss, the love-
The ALL.
Oh, courage do not fail me.
I’ll be there…. in the unknown,
Basking, glowing, growing, breathing, rhythmically moving
To my own song…
