Awakening
“that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.” Acts2:17
The fires that embody my very being!
How the searing that flickers at the edges of my humanity drives me poorly through the desert
Blindly I grope for the rarity wound in vines of Creation which slithers out of my reach.
How the lapping of distant pools pains the delicacy of my hearing!
If I would, with all my lasting strength, the life essence would be forced from my veins
But I am futile in my efforts, since my sight is obstructed by the translucent fires that tease and twist before me!
Leave me be!
How my spirit trembles endlessly as it gathers
Pulsating with fear within my heart
How the paleness of my skin quakes with the beauty that radiates
Weeping, I wait for the blessed darkness to engulf me, to consume
Speak
From the depths of what I do not know, a command
Speak
The rawness that has consumed my throat struggles to voice knowledge
The trembling within as the ruby red drips even nearer
Open your eyes to the light of heaven, you who are ashes of ashes
Speak
The winds rolled once empty husk shell, covering me in a rush of cold clarity
Newness in the soft of my gaze opened to the Light of Heaven
Speak of the Knowledge of God, O Woman
Naked I rose, exposed to all Creation
Rising from ashes of ashes falling from the strangeness of my hands
