THE LONGEST NIGHT ENDS

[Guest guest]

....And as the longest night ends,

gathers me in his dark arms,

though

I remember not with certainty, how that one

passionate moment,

falling out of your eyes, turned into daylight,

into the Rite of Spring, flying with bright

feathers in the heartbeat of small birds, singing

their sweetest songs,

 

....Though my joyful body awakens in the One Light, I shall

remember the pledge and promise of my own true

Soul, having

fallen from grace,

and crossing that lonely shore to

a brave new world, hearing only an ancient drum,

pounding in my heart, with a rhythm not yet established

in a world I leave behind, leave with all the broken lives

of strangers on a distant shore, who live in fear and

anger, clutching, grasping, holding on to that last breath,

jealously guarding what they do not wish to leave behind,

speaking of war and rumours of wars, when in God's truth,

the battle is in one's very own soul, and how only Love carried

me across my own burning river, my tempest, the fire in my belly,

ascending gently, out of my last and lonely dying thoughts, and

hearing children's laughter, I ran naked to that great ocean inside

me, the Sargasso Sea, now so calm, basking in the sunlight shining

on my hair, a perfect blue sky, cloudless, a swirling painting Vincent

left behind in a sublime salty air, I surrender to the voices

in my head, an animal growl, a buzzing growing louder, as the

darkness gives way to the morning just outside my bedroom window,

the Aum of Life has opened me, opened the last blossom on the highest

mountain, wafting the pure white scent of an Edelweiss to the shore,

to the shore,

to the sea inside me.

 

 

Love and Light,
