Feel Everything

I want you to feel everything 

Every morsel of the divine 

Swallowed whole 

A muse from 

Songbird’s swollen throats 

Exposed 

Wafting in the wind of a thousand 

Throes 

An ounce of life is worth a world of gold

That’s why you came 

Became 

A soul

Don’t run away 

Half foot 

In or out 

All but sold 

Come stand firm

In you choice

Head on 

As you continue to choose 

This.

Here. 

Now.

Is a good one 

So make good on this one 

Jump in the ride of your design 

After all

or before it

You promised yourself a surprise 

No clichés 

They bore you 

You rathered the twists and turns 

The sacral churns, yearns and 

Burning hopes and dreams 

That connect you with the place 

From which you came 

What fun is a ride if all is steady

Known and found 

The risk is the thrill worth taking

What makes the life rise 

Is the threat of its eternal demise 

So you threw them in 

The unknowns 

Small and large 

Mattering and meaning it all 

Mattering and meeting it all 

With the knowing that this ride could be over at any time 

So that you would stay on

And let go 

Letting those unknowns 

Fall into the cracks and crevices of your soul 

Till there was nothing to do 

But be filled by the glorious bigness of existence 

Now is your moment 

To shine 

And squeeze the sweetness from 

The light 

Of this temporal tome of life 

Till dripping 

This body feels itself in and out 

to the tip of every nerve and every cell 

Of your God beloved form 

Leave no stone unturned 

In the search for your aliveness 

The way back home is through the valley 

Of the shadows you left behind 

Gather them up, those tender sheep 

And let the light in 

To find them lying 

Await, Awake 

At the door of your unraveling 

Left open 

For the wind to blow you whole
