(Re)Birth
Birth is when
The lights
Down every corridor
Of conscious possibility close
And I cannot breathe
I hold my throat a moment longer
It feels like dying
Do I surrender…
Or BREATHE
The holy vapor around me
Tear my way from this dark canopy
And see my fingers,
Caressing the carpet
The floor holds me
A lonely child,
His own prophet, worst enemy
And natural entity
Writing poetry just to be seen
How can we truly connect and see
When these words say so little
And entire cosmos lay between?
Divine Family
Fear and truth
Hidden power and youth
Sacred touch of earth and heaven
I take my time
As I walk into the light
Effaced by grace
Wrapped in every cell and fiber
By Divine Mother and Father’s immutable arms
Held, even in wrath and angst
Alive, even in the depths of pain
Flooded, with hope in the midst of darkness
I look up and see
As my feet rest on solidity
That I’m a part of a cosmic family.
Dear Pattie
I love you
I miss you so much
You were a mother to me
And best friend
You showed me light
Where all I would’ve known is fear
You brought me to the gates of heaven
With the simple truths
Of being kind and sincere
You roused my spirit when I felt alone
Your spirit persists in me
Forever, to my very bones
I love you
And miss you dearly
I remember you,
Your ashes are now life
I carry the spark of your light
It grows as I speak
I know you can hear me
Hallelujah.
