circle

part 1

i only feel whole when i forget the world and i imagine it is just me and nothing else naked feet on earth under a night sky full of stars and whatever i do whether with word or movement or silence i sing to something beyond all that i can see or touch or smell reaching up and up until i feel All That Is wrap Itself around my hand grasping tight once again vowing to never let go

and at that moment i know it matters not what i say or do or am or think i should be but only that i exist and then hear a Voice whisper to look down and i see shoes of red earth on my feet and remember that i have always been here, too and there is nothing that i am not or will not someday be somewhere and one day i will wake up in my bed safe and sound realizing i have never left Home

but oh, has it been a wonderful, painful, hope-filled dream

at least that is what i will someday not only think but know until it is as the very air i now breathe into these human lungs and the red blood running through these veins and the very oxygen that saturates this body

to then wake again and find Myself answering a song in the night reaching down, down, down

to grasp and hold and vow to never ever let go

part 2

and i might not have ever known the awesome power of You had i not been emptied in the dead of night of all hope-for result of effort that i cannot maintain on my own and the limited knowledge of this one short role on this one stage that i now play what would i have done had i not come to the end of all i know until there was nothing left, had i not been abandoned and rejected time and time again until You were the only place to turn and the only one left who cared i would never have found through my sorrow the joy nor risen from my broken

knees to dance never would have seen into the depth of my own Soul into the depth of Yours to find the place beyond Love where all illusion drops away and there is no justice required and no peace to be sought no benevolence needed because there is nothing out of Order

there is only the One

if which I Am

and You Are

and We Are

and that is All

Not sure the edit of this one is finished, but for now I like the run-on style of it.
