body of love

moving across the great plain of existence

in and out of human

of grasses of rock

body of love

recognising no border

only itself 

body of light

across the eons

come now, make me

body of light 

across the stars, the galaxies

the systems outside of knowing 

body of light 

library of thinking 

all of the thoughts that have ever happened

come now, make me 

in my remembering whole

stream of love

moving always moving 

looking only for itself

inside things and 

under stones 

inside humans

in the shapes between 

stream of love

searching always for itself

moving through walls and outlines

shapes and labels 

laughing to discover itself

stream of love 

flowing through tomorrow into yesterday

body of love

respecting no wall or boundary

careless

searching only and always

for itself in all things

body of love

restless moving 

through skin and bone

inhabiting the space between 

the silence under words

the life in stones

in rockpools

body of love

there is no place it isn’t

moving over mine

i am at the other side of what begins 

and what ends

beginning and ending happen within me

which is why there 

in those places –

(the tenderest) 

where human is without words and floundering

i am

Who are you ? 

i ?

i am the not wishing things to be different

i am the turning to things as they are

i am the ins and the outs

the ups and the downs

without the layings-on-top of the mind 

i am the dreams come true and 

the catastrophes breaking down the walls 

inside which you hide

i am the blazing fire into which all that is not 

must be tossed

i am the inside out the guts and the squalor

i am the means by which you will find your way home

i am the answer to the secret wish that burns inside you: 

you wish to raze your house to rubble

and that of your father and his father and his father before

i am the way out from all that is not 

i am home. 

you will find me when every possibility is exhausted

when all of it – the bright lights, the false promises, the lies that say FOREVER –

makes you sick

i am the mother you never had

the one behind the eyes that bathed you fed you

packed you off to school

i am the empty roar of life

the one that catches a leaf

in her teeth and spits it into forever 

i am she of the blazing lamp

the one that doesn’t sleep

the one that will burn to ash your house of secret wishes

the ones that keep you bargaining with the world

i am she the only mother, 

the one that knows her way in space and time

because i made it

i am She

Here.

Take my hand. 

I of all things

Am the only can be trusted.

Take my hand

Burn

ego loves a journey

do You ?
