expansive freedom : soul poem

Picture
expansive freedom.


i drop into the knowing of me
by releasing the knowing of you.


i hold all in a simple and profound
embrace that ties no-one and nothing
to anything other than themselves
and the love the binds us all
as we weave our stories
together and under and over
and around the layers of existence.


i hear the sound of expansion
as hearts drop into themselves
and effortlessly beat in unison
with the pulse of the universe.


dreams become undone
and reworked as beauty and grace
find their way into the crevices
of unchecked and unmarked
places within the human spirit.


rather than quitting
we stay tuned to the harmony
of what it means to commit
to oneself and to life itself.


we come alive in the presence
of one another
and continue to make room
for all that is to come.


breath in and then out -
shifting realities as air enters lungs
and veins move blood
blessed with the sweet nectars of life.


honey drips from the branches
and lips find themselves
reaching towards others
who share in the quest for being
in ways that give way
to the practical desires of the heart.


we shift and move -
we dance and weave -
we strip ourselves bare




as the trees bask in the glory
of who we are in the wild form of humanity.


we recognize the connections
between one and two and two and three -
and we see how we are not separate from nature
but rather completely intertwined
just like our hands as our fingers
find comfort in the way they fit
as we loosen our grip
and create space
for the infinite grace
of lovers in a time
of complex change.


we rearrange the constructs of our minds
so we may see beyond
the conditioned ways
that have kept us tethered
to lives that no longer make sense.


there is immense liberation
when we can immerse ourselves
in the joy of opening
to that which is beyond our comprehension.


did i mention…
expansive freedom is who i am -
it is me in the entirety of my awakened soul.
it is the gold that glows
from behind my eyes
as i learn the wise ways
of days gone past
and days to come.
presently present -
i walk into what it means to be.
expansive freedom.
this is me. ​

true reciprocity : soul poem

Picture
true reciprocity.

​i spoke of true reciprocity

and then she tells me
she has been ruminating
on this notion
and is curious
as to what it means to me.


true reciprocity,
to me,
is about
the allowance of being.
it’s about seeing
everything at once
yet not trying
to discover
what it all means
before the body mind and soul
are ready to receive.


in essence
there cannot be
reciprocity
without the true.
the true is added
simply for effect
because
there is no reciprocity
that is not so true.


reciprocity happens
without having the mind involved.
it’s the breathing in and out
and back in again
without a thought
of what one is doing
for the other.
yet
there is a part of us
in those moments of breathing
that knows to appreciate
the three parts of the whole.
in.
pause.
out.




pause.
in.
pause.
out.
pause.
reciprocity
knows nothing of keeping score.
it simply just is.
there is give and take
and no-one
or nothing
is minding a tally
to make sure all
is even and fair -
because reciprocity
is about trusting
that all will
arrive time and again
to a place of equitable
harmony.


there is a balance
of needs getting met
and truths being spoken
and words being taken
as seriously
as the souls
that occupy this body.
with a grain of sand
and a pinch of salt -
we hold ourselves
accountable
for the ways our tongues
bring magic to the world.


true reciprocity
is the trees
dropping their leaves
to nourish the earth.
it’s the sap that flows
because it knows
we humans
love to taste
the sweet syrup
as we fortify
ourselves
for the times ahead.


if in the mind
it is ever hard to comprehend -
simply look to the natural world
that surrounds you -
the natural world
that abounds within you -
and it will be easy to see
how you and me
flow together
like the streams and rivers
flow into the ocean and lakes.
there is a balance
of holding on
and letting go -
a knowing
of hearts beating
with some sort of unison
with the very centre
of the earth.
it is death
and it is birth.
it is all
and none
wrapped up
in one.
