I AWOKE
'I AWOKE' is a poem that speaks of the appreciation & abundance of creative life, the honouring of the journey into knowing oneself ... and ultimately the letting go of earthly life with the crossing of the threshold.
I AWOKE
I awoke
Filled with desire and passion
And overflowing with boundless
Plentiful, inexhaustible love
For you and me
And for every one of natures blessed creatures Trees, earth and sky
All that sings
Swarming and thronging
With life’s harmonic melodies.
And after gorging on this love
Stuffed and full to my very core
My heart of being
Brimming and abundant with spirit light –Creates.
---
And when you look
I pray that you see into the imagination of it And feel it move you
From the deepest parts of your being
Within and without
Slowly
Unfurling
Pushing you beyond your gates
Into the wilderness.
---
At night I find solitude
When the crescent moon shines
Through an indigo sky.
In the quiet stillness of now
I know myself.
When the murky shadows
And spider beings
Weave in and around my house
I am not afraid.
I think of the exalted Rose
That has given itself
Selflessly and utterly
To spirit sun.
---
Everyday,
Whilst others sit and play
I burn like a fire
My wood; the earthly body.
The air I breathe & burning light
I take deeply
Into the spirit of matter.
One day, near or far from now
There will come a time
When my body has been used up
To the last drop.
All vigour and vitality spent in my explorations
My wanderings into the dark crevices
And beautiful palaces of my being.
The monuments have been erected
To each moment
Fleeting, lingering
Wondrous happenings
Evanescent bliss and
Enduring tenderness.
Anguish too in not trusting
Ultimately trust in finding.
This exhaustive, brimming life
Burning, bursting
With all there is to embrace with wonder
Within the remarkable depths of my being.
---
Now the threshold
Between earth and spirit
Is water thin
And just as transparent.
The waves no longer crash upon my shore
But rather, lap gently
Quietly
On the warm dunes of my heart
As I slip away next door.
I will miss your shining eyes my love
But I am grateful too
That I have lived into a thousand moments of light Warm, enriching golden light.
---
And when you see my body
A gaunt ruin it will be
Bleak & desolate
Like a forgotten temple
That silently echoes my spirit glow.
You will then know I have set sail
The wind of ether light
Carries me elsewhere
Where earthly eyes no longer see
But spirit heart knows.
