I am

the radiant goddess

I am the soulmate of my soul

I am beholden to the Beauty

I am the keeper of the whole

I am

I am

the sword

of surrender

too swift for thinking,

too light for fear

I am the kiss

Of the beloved

Once a promise so sweet

Now a pain too much

for this human heart to bare

I am the bloodshed

of my womb

The unborn

unloved

unknown children

of the tomb

I am

the beloved

of the Beloved

I am everywhere

I am nowhere

I am here

I am the weeping queen,

King Arthur and his entire army at my side,

Longing for love

in secret chambers

past hallways of past lives,

betrayals and lies,

And fortress high walls of pride

I am the kneeling nun

Both saved and enslaved by her vow

Dancing on the edge of dark night

and sanity

and wondering how

on earth

do we

create Heaven here and now

I am the leader’s loneliness

I am his infant’s cry

I am the inner battlefield

Of trying not to try

I am the threshold

of effortless play and ease

and the barrister of grief

I am the divine veil’s limitation striptease

and trepidation’s thief

Belonging to no one

and everyone,

I am the thirst

for Truth and Joy,

and the knowing

that

we

are

already

free

Yet all the king’s horses and

all the king’s men

Shall not bring these to me

I am the lost

stolen

forgotten

key

I am

I am this frightened animal,

so small

And a wild stallion at the gate

May I find peace

in accepting all

of me, and let LOVE love me

and never hesitate

I am the pulse of Creation

In her innocence

and her strength

Raw, real, open, shut,

bright and bleak

Like windshield wipers

of uneven length 

LOVE wants me to see

I am timeless, empty, wholeness

So far beyond memories

and all the mental machinery

I am the chasm between

exhaustion and emergence,

of a new Reality,

a nascent Being

Transcending

any false identity,

LOVE wants me

to see

I am

the alchemy

of infinity

 

I am this grove of trees,

Holding hands

beneath the earth,

I am the water breaking,

singing here I come,

at the warning of my birth

I am the holy witness

bowing

to the choiceless choice

of nourishing new life

May I listen

to the pregnant whispers

of a future calling voice

I am the invitation

and the capable midwife, cutting the cord.

I am a choir of angels, descending, announcing

The bridal party has arrived

Does my Lady receive her Lord

Love Overflowing Revealing the Divine

I am yours. You are mine.

I am these wings,

ready to leave the nest,

Fluttering, fierce and fragile,
filled with faith

Let this take me into flight

Love wants me to see

there’s nothing wrong

and nothing right.

Only this.

I am.

Can you

let this

be your rest?

Can you let this sword

enter your chest?

Until you cannot breathe,

until there is a new breath?

LOVE wants me

to be LOVE

To sit in silence,

to listen and wait

for the depth of an inner sea

to move me

To create a whole new world

no one could anticipate

 

I am the muddy blanket
you almost stepped on,

not seeing the body under it,
huddled in the street.

 I am the silent suffering

Under all those smart phones
and new shoes,
and balconies they
are too busy
to use

Rented by people
we make up stories about,
and
never
really
meet.

I am all the mistakes

and all the forgiveness

I am this poem

weaving its way into existence

with unstoppable Grace

Inviting you to look. Stop. Behold. 

Me You We I

One face

I am

the warrior queen,

in humility on my knees,

Ready to rise

and shine

for LOVE’s urgency

that doesn’t need to say

pretty please

to the false gods

of the patriarchy

I am the mountain, tall and steady,

and the raging river stream,

Pouring into broken places,

resurrecting the dream

of Heaven

from inside my heart,

your heart,

the one heart, one team

Are you willing?

Are you ready?

LOVE

wants

us

to

see

we are

the alchemy

of Infinity

I am the radiant goddess

I am the soulmate of my soul

I am beholden to the Beauty

I am the keeper of the whole

I am

I am

I am
