the instrument of being

 

the instrument of being

needs to be constantly playing

with a lifetime of melody forthcoming.

some by strum,

many by movement,

almost everyone by voice,

some with instruments,

by beating, blowing with breath,

some with keyboards,

others with mouthpiece and keys,

with strings and with skins,

but all source-fully ordained.

for all mediums of spirit expressed,

sound and sight sense-speak it,

yet lyrics and melodies come and go.

the instrument of being

needs to play on,

as expression carries the import.

spirit is looking to make its presence known,

not so much by the song or the say,

but deep from within, 

by what gives of itself as carriage,

as that presence that seeks to speak.

by whatever means present to express,

for that outpour of being.

the ardor and the angst,

the profound and the secreted,

the callouts and the longings,

the complexities and the singulars,

the confounded and the perplexed,

the death-defying and the birth-arising,

the earth seeking and the heaven's call.

the instrument of being

is inwardly always playing 

the spirit into life.

the livingness towards consummate spirit is,

in presence, in action, in the import of life.

there is the chorus, the solos, 

and the symphony, 

the elaborate and the transfixed,

the first cry and the swan song,

the urgency and the solemnly withheld.

still, the streaming of being continues.

all searching for the sounds 

and the summoning.

the chrysalis leading to spirit expressed,

is beyond the presence of selfdom.

it is something of soul,

when being transcends circumstance,

when being aligns. 

and diligence or devotion applies,

and being is the blossom of spirit,

and spirit is the bloom of soul presence,

as music to our fears,

as high praise to aliveness,

as that which compels and completes,

as that which creates, as it calls out.

the intake of sensory beckoning

is the beyond of spirit,

not as entertainment,

but as enterprise.

it is energetically resourceful,  

as beyond self sustained.

spirit laden with full-blown embodiment,

is the instrument of being, realized.

all of this, 

into one sound, one dance, one presence,

as the orchestration of soul presence,

in the commons of consciousness,

that we all play within and upon . . .
