A REMEMBRANCE


I had no good byes for you just your name on my altar
Our reckoning happened long ago with so much pain
It was a hard forgiveness in the way-back-then
That came easy once my heart gave to that spaciousness
And compassion paid my soul a visit asking for everything
There could be nothing less than that full surrender 
Nothing less that a complete turn to Love no matter what

I leaned fully into those tender arms of absolution
Betraying expectations desire to have to have it returned
To have to make an equal exchange of emotional fairness
Covered with all  Sunny sparkle and pop-up love emojis 
I did it for me on behalf of a deeper love that rose
in the giving, in the let go, in the instant of full clarity

Like the Sun came and burned my insides clean of that hurt
An unexpected Phoenix rising from the death of a long ago
Child wound dissolving away in the ocean of my heart
That vastness makes me quake and wonder of this truth
Beating gently in the center of my chest, a steady pulse 
A'Yes' set free in the never have to go around again

I will alway remember you.  You were my first paradox  
Rest in peace

Loss Must Have All Our Tears… a pantoum
	

		

day 26…


  I dedicate this to Janine.  Sending her love and hope in this time of great sadness.




Is it a call to the ever-lasting?


Has chaos laid its final hand upon us?


Fragile are we in our unfolding from life to death


The earth body has it limitations to release the bound soul


~


Has chaos laid its final hand upon us?


There is no knowing when you will be taken or how


The earth body has it limitations to release the bound soul


And in our grief we remember the celebration of a life well lived


~


There is no knowing when you will be taken or how


Can we greet death by living to our highest and greatest good?


And in our grief we remember the celebration of a life well lived


Filling up on the gifts that love has generously given


~


Can we greet death by living to our highest and greatest good?


The Universe brings infinite vastness into our souls


Filling up on the gifts that loves has generously given


When remembrance is what holds us to what was


~


The Universe brings infinite vastness into our souls


There is no telling when we will be called into the light and dark of it


When remembrance is what holds us to what was


And loss must have all our tears.


~


There is no telling when we will be called into the Light and Dark of it


Fragile are we in our unfolding from life to death


And loss must have all our tears.


Is it a call to the ever-lasting?
