Body

A new season
learning my body's needs
loving my body as it is
touching my body when I feel like it
unashamed of its appetites

Earth

I am earth that shivers in moonlight
drawn to deep waters
brimming with promises
of life
of birth
of hidden peace

Forgive

What wounds in the dark
is forgiven gently
in the fresh light
of a newborn day

Speak a soft word to me
gentle it into my soul
until there is no anger
no hurt
no want

Return

Set me free into the lush newness of
being fully, uniquely, beautifully... me

Intimacy

Break me open
shatter me wide
until no part of me is untouched
reach for it
it's your gift
reach deep until I'm released
from the need to keep
an unpierced center
an unpenetrated core

Currents

Close your eyes
feel everything your soul has opened to
feel the current of our shared energy
let the river take us deeper into each other & beyond
into the vast openness of something sacred & alive

Look now at beauty
look at beauty without shame
touch it, no need to possess it
admire it, no need to consume it
come closer, no need to feel diminished by it

Ask the questions you want to ask
come near your desire & be still
see his essence, see all he is
reflecting your hunger for the same
