coming thru the waves...

as the shadows rise no more
the shaft of light penetrates
that calls to one
come home
be free and do not roam
anymore

love,
light of yourself in the heart
and sing of what is real
do not be a way that is of the dark
and impure
like the bright ones that have come
to live in this land
but do not go outside in the streets
of mind and do not race into the
seas of misery
or reside where it is shallow
like a beautiful creature
that lives to be seen for what it is
amazing and wondrous
made sturdy
and right with all of life
so is this heart of yours
so very much made perfectly
and so very much made as a light
unto itself
not to be shaded over by grasping ways
and desiring of something other
all the time..

what do you think of this friend?

have you not sat with it awhile

and rolled it around on your tongue

have you not brought the possibility

of coming *out* into your heart

or have you put it out of your head for now

and simply felt that you are not 

in the right way to be free...

this is not the way of a warrior

that is to go thru the waves 

and rise anew and bring the land

that haunts to rest

if you put this truth aside and leave it

it will not grow in you 

it will be covered over and not seen

so how will this set things right?

no matter your condition or place now

you can begin inside and sooner 

or later there will be a shift

however small or large that will

make your reality feel different

more open and alive 

or even more up in your face so 

as to be able to see it...

this is a good start...

anything is better than the same old

droning mental chatter that goes nowhere

love, 

do you not think so?
