Who is There

--> That which has been silenced into the dark corners

A life trapped inside?

     A voice that yearns to tell the truth?

Knock…knock… knock

Who is there…Who is there

Courageous who we are

     just to be here

Clipped wing

Skin shed shake quiver tremor

Hold not so so close not to tight

But squeeze oh so much much more

Step into this place here a shelter

Secret soft singing of the Soul

     Come…Come…Come

It is no longer me I am

     Everything

Fall fade away

There is no way out

Only all the way into and through...

Holy Visitors

This here is a place of

     Great Uncertainty

where

     Holy Visitors

Invade

Everything further completely more

     Holy Visitors

Initiate

Set in motion start over clear the way to begin again

Bare soul stripped naked uncovered and exposed

Breakdown collapse fallen down to knees

     A sweet bow to the altar

of belonging

to what remains what once was all that has been lost

and

Never forgetting that in which must be revealed

Never forgetting that in which remains untouched

Nothing is as it was

     nor is it intended to be

We are not meant to go back…

The Summoned Life

The great forgetting

Falling asleep to death awaken alive

Broken apart

Shattered again again and again

put back together

Living over over and over once more

Do you dare enter the gates of holy heaven grounds

Deep currents run free and wild move through all things

These few sweet breaths we call living

Courage to face

    and never turn away

from the summoned life

I Choose To Enter

Standing at the door

Wide open

Here we are

From long ago

Some life past

Once before

To meet again

Between us and them me and you they this and that

Among in the midst surrounded by the middle of

     Life and Death

This center point here in between is the place

     I died

Old parts

New selves

     drop fade fall melt down out away

Last gasp of air

becomes a fresh breath for the beginning of a moment in time

again

Standing at the door

Wide open

     go into walk across

all the way through

     I choose to enter

A Birth

First breath after life

The heavenly that which is within

     knows the human in us inside waiting to be born

All the wisdom to play out

in the direction I can not see

     and yet to know.

Here and There

God was There

and

     I was Here

Holy ceremonial blessings

Anointed from above

Sacred contracts I sign my life away

unspoken agreements to embark upon

This warrior serves when called

Silly games of hide and seek show and tell peek a boo

     I pretend to play dead

Resurrected all over again

And we gather

Together

Turn toward you

Open up into me

Tell me what you see

I will follow your lead

     show me the way

Dare

To tell me the

     Whole Truth

Nothing but the Truth

A double Dare to reveal all of me

       Shed the whole of me

Stand tall Stand naked

Stand

Raw bone pure

     Beautiful and Broken

Armor fade

Heart melt quiver shake Heart pulse beat beat beat

God is Here I am Here
