Without Fear

Standard

You are afraid of the way she leaves you

Reeling.

She can feel you.

See more than your skin.

Parts of you not one single heart has

Seen.

Or held.

No questions

Or explanations.

Just being.

You move to her without resistance

For there is none left,

Not even in your darkest parts.

The voices have hushed.

She has penetrated and annihilated the threat

For she is audacious.

Reached into them with her unspoken light

And held each one to her soul.

Singing them to sleep

Without destroying herself.

Now look.

Without fear there is only

Love.

A Message

Standard

I

Sat in the jungle

And disolved into the stillness.

Jaguar approached me

And pierced my skin.

As blood fell to the jungle floor

She said,

“This is the blood of everyone.

The anguish of your mothers

And fathers

Has already been shed.

You are anew.

You choose to carry pain from the past

Because you believe

You are supposed to.

Release it.

It is not yours to carry.

Your ancestors

And all of the universe

Wish for you to

Let it go.”

Melancholy

Standard

On this day I am feeling melancholy.

I cannot speak.

It is as if my hands are lead

And my feet do dread

Every step.

My eyes have forgotten how sweetly

They can see.

Even though the sun rises to

Caress my heart and remind me

I am alive.

My body screams

As it talks to itself

Misinterpreting every word.

My breath does not delight in the pleasure of

Breathing

This day.
