Go In
look beyond the knowings of your mind
go in
look at the ancient, timeless truths
drawn on the walls of your soul
don’t let darkness shroud your knowing
go in
it is there that the eyes of your soul will adjust
sit, listen, wait
for the walls will speak
of stories, truths that transcend
man’s need, attempt to control truth
feel
the energies of endless time
generations, lives, civilizations before you
ripples of knowing
as endless as the drops in the ocean
don’t move
let the vibrations of knowing move in you
let it pulse that you may become one
with every reverberation
now move
touch, taste, feel, see
explore the remnants
the artifacts, the truths
touch the stones of sacredness
the voluptuous beauty of her power
left for your knowing
stories inscribed in stains
uncorrupted by the feebleness of man’s tainting
now bathe
bathe in truth
cleansing the lies, beliefs
and crustings of pain
yours, of the times, and lifetimes
adorn, now
the fragrance of all that you are
clothe yourself in the power and majesty
of grace, light, love
but don’t stop there
take the hand of the person next to you
dance for them
celebrate you that they may see
the eternal being that you are
take them to the entrance of their soul
hold the door, invite them to go in
embrace them with hope and courage
invite them to learn the sacredness of who they are
that they too might dance
lastly, resume
delight in you, eternal you
yes, you
dance

sounds like this is inspired by your work ?
yes…both with self and others…hope it is a great day for you
That just might be my favorite 2012 Christmas gift. Thank you.
Oh, Michele, I am so glad. This poem came when I was asked, “How can we really make a change in the world? How do we enliven more feminine energy for everyone?” . . . And this is what I wrote as I contemplated how to respond to the person . . . taking one hand at a time, modeling our self honor. Many blessings, Michele.
Michele’s response was mine, also. Your words and heart ring in my ears often and draw me inward to my/our soul’s love. Even just a “splash” of eternal refreshing water awakens my desire to “bathe”. I understand why I can jump the circuit at “don’t move” but I’m not disheartened. I love your progression of go in, feel, don’t move, move, bathe, and dance, alone and with another. What a gift and call to dancing for 2013 and beyond…..thanks.
Glad you liked it, Peg…I think this is how we change the world, loving one person at a time – with much grace…and we do that by living love for others as we live love for ourselves.
Good ideas for reflection…thanks for sharing and for visiting!
As well, thanks for stopping by…reflect well…Kris
