Sacred Contracts XXIV: Trust (napowrimo #30)
Thunder strikes a match against
the earth's surface repeatedly from
the box of cloud it grips. Nocturnal
life hides quickly under rainy sheets.
Nature has reached her balance in
reflective glassine coating her skin.
Each leaf is dripping twilight from
its distant galaxy of darkened tree.
Incense is burning with white sage,
the candles' flames are strong, steady;
I offer the sacrifice of time and silence
to the will of the verse, and resist at first.
Thoughts canoe hard against the poem.
I want to open my heart and channel
the Universe as it was before creation,
but cannot conjure from that direction.
One morning we will face the end of our
incarnations, and each other; we won't
remember the pain that scarred our faces
any more than experiences we asked for.
Our roots have knotted one to the other,
and sometimes it feels so restrictive,
keeping peace light years away. But, it's
also that very knot that binds us forever.
Our Now is what we selected together,
this includes both truths and lies of us;
It has to be enough to know we'll survive,
to believe our future cannot be severed.
I hate vulnerability against such rawness;
but, sometimes the Universe says, "Enough."
"Turn your back to flesh and through the fog of pride and misundersanding
Trust in Love."
