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
