I can see through
The soggy afternoon,
Your words inspired
By ancient pines,
...

Open wide, my sisters.
Prepare your hearts
To make welcome the light
That would ask us
...

I am present in the energy of this moment,
An instrument manifesting sacred duty
Without attachment
For what does not belong to me.
...

I saw you today,
In the wild brown eyes
Of a doe. She studied me
With an intensity I've never known
...

I have counted
Vigorous regrets -
Ten thousand and one,
Measured them
...

We were sleeping
When the dirty water
Came rushing down,
Drowning our arrogance
...

Way down here
In the swamps of Dixie,
Where I learned to dance
With gators grinning,
...

Annihilation,
Well defined,
Paraded past
Your defenses,
...

Step gently, my sweet,
Into the hallowed night,
And be not afraid
Of the mystery awaiting you.
...

Amethyst air
weaves the dream
of conscious living,
awakening original purpose,
...

I've studied steeples piercing the sky
As it called to the people to cross
The threshold of denomination,
And stood mystified
...

Ancient Mystery,
I am ready.
Lend me this time
To learn the simplicity
...

Arrogant seed,
oh, arrogant seed,
why must you grow
inside of me?
...

I can’t stand to sit…

Waiting to be included
In your anecdotes,
...

You believe me a fool,
Easily consumed by your authority,
Basking in your biases
To dictate my future,
...

Can you hear me?
Can you hear me now?

I’m squeezing out between
...

Destiny’s child spoke to me,
Accentuating the triumph
Of my forebears,
Gifting me with their legacy
...

I can hear
no one listening
and I want
to go inside
...

Companionship sits in lonely corners,
Waiting for your advances,
And wonders why you let
White noise
...

I have dreamt of magnolia fields
Glistening beneath summer clouds,
Where childish fascination meets reality,
And it is so much more.
...
