the web

the tub is draining slowly

And I feel as though the air in my lungs is being replaced with a heavy smoke

I am working on accepting impermanence

As I am feeling myself deeply entangled in an intricate web

Every movement, felt eternally

There’s a heavenly symphony playing I can just barely make out,

My breath is long and loud, my heartbeat even louder

There’s a drum beating in my belly,

I hear it in my chest,

In my fingertips, up and down my body’s outline

contemplating my ancestors presence in the glimpses of my shadows,

But also,

in the brilliance of our light and

there I am energized in knowing

Separateness is an illusion.

They are in the way I drink water, the way my body rolls like dice when I play on the forest floor, or tumble down a hill

laughing so brightly

Illuminating a reason as to why we are here.

Maybe perhaps just to feel things in a body was once a divine decree

An order from The One abundant source

What will you remember when it is time to go that made you smile so softly?

You recall the way the sun felt behind your closed eyelids

Or the way the trees held you, or the water held you or the moon held you

You were an angel from the moment of your birth

And I wish you great surrender in your journey of returning to your core
