The day Joy returned ….
A cheeky crooner came to preen
Took perch upon my wing mirror
Peered in through a dust smeared windscreen.
Joy had been lonely in the bushes
Hide-and–go-seek such a solitary game
From whom had Joy been hiding?
Go- seeking so much restrained!
But a shaft of Springtime sunlight
Dared to dance in her den of demise
Stoked Life in scattered cinders
‘RED BREASTED PHOENIX, ARISE’
Joy invoked all her Courage
Passion, Self-Love and Trust
And let them Shine from her swollen heart
To laugh again Joy must.
So alighting on my wing mirror
Robin’s song was crystal clear
Why focus on what’s behind you?
When a Present is right here ….
Sekhmet .... Queen of matriarchal presence
You as the silent watcher
Waiting with endless loving patience
Claws retracted
Stalking my footsteps as I've stumbled
Year upon year
Through the layers of old story
My lessons in self acceptance ........
Sekhmet ..... Queen of feminine power
You as the trickster, the joker
Me as your toy
A swift swipe of your paw in jest
An easy toss into free-fall
Or flattened to the floor, nose in the dirt
My lessons in sweet surrender ........
Sekhmet ...... Queen of embodied Power
I AM the Goddess Kundalini
I AM my sunrise within a sunset
Heart full of grace
An inner stirring, a simple choice
Its time
My lessons in Sovereignty ..........
I am a fully fledged U-turner
To bring paradoxical perspective my goal
Shining three sixty degree vision
To illuminate the dark nights of soul.
I can show to you your blind side
Flip all your outsides in
Put end to self deception
Pure wisdom my medicine will bring.
Are you a sincere truth-seeker?
Do maya's mists no longer appeal?
Allow me to be your wing mirror
We'll SOAR, in this new dawn revealed!!
How long can I hold this breath?
Yesterday's memories, dreams, wishes,
Cherished within a cage of ribs,
Lungs brim-full, with recounted air kisses,
Can I wait?
Joy was inhaled with pure reckless abandon,
Light mirrored by stars in a dear beloved's eyes,
Life rushed in, no concerns for tomorrow,
Yet ... Alas ... Love imploded within this heart's panicked cries ...
''I’LL WAIT!''
This fullness not easily relinquished,
But pain punishes a grasping hand,
Stagnant stuckness, overwhelming,
Lost, behind curtains of tears, I stand,
I can't wait ...
So hope's tangled tendrils now gratefully concede,
Human will yields to Divine,
With 'Trust', I embrace this bitter-sweet exhale,
In Shiva's arms I'll merge beyond time,
He awaits .....
