taken up 7/13/18

I have taken up the cause from within me

compelled to embrace the unknown

with openness from a deep interior

imaginary from there

into my motion 

the movement is the saying of it all

form and gestures fill 

with emotion coming forth

my mind, as first audience, 

following its lead

throwing petals of intention

as if forethought, 

into the security of it as deed

needs are then woven

tasks sing-back as if the chorus or refrain

don’t really know any of the words for this

but the melody, in my being, says it all

not a journey but my procession of spirit

brought out into the light 

behind but also part of the doing

the carriage of spirit coming forth

it is like falling up 

by following this invisible lead

there is a lit candle guiding 

a blaze of outpour

so secreted behind all of this as actions

for action is the prayer

soul intent be well disguised

only the light from within gives it all away

tell me there is an array of us out here

filling each and every day

belief is but a bystander

the welling continues 

without reason as its guide

drawnness is the oh so intoxicant

passion is but this spiritual pheromone  

in the slow but thorough constancy 

of the cool white-hot burning 

from the apparent invisibility 

of this yearn . . .
