6: 36:  The Sword

Excerpt 36 from Journal 6, 'Becoming My True Love'
  - From 'Journals To My True Love, Part 2'

My Love, how the pen is a sword I lash forward with...
How it eviscerates the weak and ignorant of Truth...
How it shines with the diamond of your knowledge...
How it reflects your courageous journey to be known...
How the world is awakened to that knowing in your
    reverberating slash of all that is old and outdated...
How your newness is forced into the eyes of those
    who dare to stare and inquire...
How it has slashed me...
How I have bled and been undone...
How I have struggled to hold this formidable position...
One to know what we are meant to even in adversary
    of the worlds dim hope/faith...
To climb the hill of conquest to reach the fort of safety...
This task is never complete...
We must picture ourselves already inside, this is our strength...
The body must be envisioned as a fortress for the heart...
And it must be protected and this must be adhered to...
My heart has bled out but still has its original structure...
It has been emptied to be filled with our wisdom...
My awareness of you and yours of mine...
I call you in the dense forest and you must listen to hear...
It is but your heart speaking and its sound is like music...
Remember your home and you will find me there...
When I arrive to slash your heart you will climb inside,
    retreat back into mine...
You will be undone and so found by salvation...
 I will save you in the end and my prison will be your ecstasy and pain...
And there will you beg for rebirth to end this calamity..
Like Prometheus chained, you will both wish for death and
    yet relish being still alive in purpose...
How this reciprocity will fuel the story of us...
