Here within my place of peace
at times I know my soul to be free
But it also occurs to me
that the wounding of what I endured
will always live on
in some form or other
Over time
the things I had to deny
kept knocking at the door of my soul
For even in dreams
pain which could not forget
rained
drop by drop upon my weary soul
And so if each awakening
was like a tearing
surely that was for a reason
Why is it that in this world
there are so many forces
invested in us denying deep body realities?
When was it we all became
severed heads
walking around on sticks
ten feet high
seeking our solace in thin air
and dismissing the ground?
Was it when the sky God took heroic flight
and tried to make the Earthly Goddesses
evil?
Or when we lost the way
to embrace the soul embodied mother?
Well dark mother comes calling us all.
Will we open ourselves
entirely to
her earthly cries
The earth our soul my lovelies
needs our healing
it needs us to not be numbing out
and blocking all feeling
with something
So turn within to the place of pain
and let your aching consciousness drop
into embodiment
there is no redemption in the sky
although our restless souls
so long to take wing and fly
For now let us find a way to live
and open to the love
pouring forth
from this
the hallowed ground
we walk upon
