the wings that will carry you home...

the wings that will carry you home
are to come to life
when you let go
or else there is no lifting off
if there is a holding
on of the world with
its collections and its
comings and goings

the wings will fly
when the heart is purified
by the joy of truth
and the joy of *being*
without adding your
life story to it
then the beautiful feathers
and strong delicate weaving
of the bones can
be cleaned off so as to shine
with beauty and strength

so is the soul to be strengthened
with the imbibing of truth
and light
i cannot tell you otherwise
for this would not be real
and would not be what
will truly help you

may you rise then
and shake this way of being
in the shadows with
thoughts that haunt
and follow you
shake them off and
begin to see what is truly here
that is of another nature
entirely

then the wings will fly
and carry you
home
to yourself
which is pure peace
and joy
without the heaviness
of the world....
