Dropping into BloodA Poem by Scott Lee
It may come
Like a wake up call In the middle of a peaceful dream in the middle of a stormy night, a curious, new feeling Dropped into blood. It may come Burning down the tracks through the middle of your life Wearing neither a smile Or a scoff. It could be the unknown Rustling in the corner Of the forest. Something unseen Dropping into blood. It may tear through your anxiety Like a welcomed friend Who you haven't seen since Childhood. It might speak to your Mind in such a way That all the season's shine Or break free all at once. It could fall like the tapping rain Against the deadly burn spot that is bubbling up 32 years of white fury in the center of your wounded complex. It may glide across the trees Like a robin You used to know Still dropping strong Into blood. A robin that never dies Effortlessly swooping down and flying into blood. It maybe a whipped up storm That you enjoyed to watch from afar. Maybe you got up from the front porch chair to go and play in it to see if you'd survive, or just to experience Amazing effects of awe Expressed by Mother Nature. Maybe she danced in your blood and turned questions into Keys- Now you know how to open the door to a part of yourself More precious than the heaviest gold. Deep longings Turn into Buzzing Puzzles Dropping freely into blood. Maybe the mist hung around The treetops nourishing That black burn on your evergreen arm with tender sprays of care. Maybe you didn't forget the majesty. Maybe the song of life is always singing to your heart. Your heart could sing back. Shaped by the wolves who Howl in the lonely winds. There is the light of your soul that is still the purest, freest Thing in the entire universe. Don't forget about that. It lies waiting To show you How to be perfect. Because deep down That is who we are. We are the golden angels Who dropped into different blood. All you have to do is believe in that. Forget all about judging yourself Dawn could rise over the best night of your entire life And still not compare To this feeling waking up coastal towns Like a fog horn in the distant ocean fog Reminding you of something else. It could glow up your spine And tingle your head As if God is putting on your halo for you. It may hide from you Until you start asking For assistance and assurance. It may make your hands turn warm And your heart race and burn The fields with lightning. There could be a new fire waiting to spark up and rise Over the air waves So the whole world knows about how deep your love goes Heaven may weep at such beauty. A quest for truth may send you Into other realms of yourself You could have been blind to, Hiding somewhere on the unconscious level. You could read something On a page That moves you so much Just the mere act of reading it changes you in a time when you needed it. One line of serious truth Dropping into blood And entering the heart My God, how do you do this like that in such a way to keep me burning for 3 years by such a simple display of elegant words. I'll never be the same. Your spectacular quest for truth brought me home after 25 years in the Life storm. Nobody knew what I was going through, but some stranger whose been dead for 300 years knew exactly how I felt and who landed right in my lap when I was calling out with howling wolves in the lonely wind, calling out with all my heart only I knew about it and now a new feeling burns, dropping heavy into blood To make me question and see life in a entire new way. We are much more than what we think we are. More connected than we ever thought to everything that ever existed. I'm still trying to wrap my head around that infinite concept. At least now My door is open And I'm not such an a*s hole anymore. © 2015 Scott Lee |
