Who are you?
Meet me at the Bridge of Truth
where the River Choice flows
into infinity
Which way will you go?
The question opens darkness
calling for a surrender to
eyes that bring light
into night
discover love
is a seed nestled inside shadows
Grow full like Moon. Shine
through the veil of secrets wiser
than fear
Remember, strength
is a gentle heart with wings
I seem to be lacking a photograph of an earthworm, but I’ll be honest, I don’t find it one of Mother Earth’s more attractive children. I once had a dream about finding a pile of live earthworms inside the skimmer basket of my pool. The earthworm brings our attention to the burden of the past we carry inside of us, reminding us that this weight we choose to bear can be recycled into new life.
Recycling the dark into Light
I chew the earth free to bring
air to dense matter. See without
eyes, feel
without hands
breathe
a skin of lungs
I am yin and yang
whole
even when broken
This past you carry
inside darkness
will be digested into light
I want to write about
hope
joy
and love
I want to write about
pain that sears
flesh into charred
cells that remember ashes
You can cling to fear
but I walk the path of healing
Mine is a truth of self
and absolution
You ask me to remember stories
that are not mine
We women wear
them in our throats
tight knots that choke voice
We have forgotten Isis
pulling the red chord of our wombs
We have forgotten feathers
folded against our hearts
Women, spread wide your red
lips
sing
laugh
rage
birth
This sacred ground is yours
to recover
Bare the Rainbow of Truth
in a circle
of raw threads
stripped of
hate
The Light Behind the Story
