Shi Soul Journey~a Crimsin Sky_dancer  revelation

an odyssey of the soul has begun
I feel your depths pulling me deeper, out to the sea of truth
where I fear I will drown in the tides of love washing me closer to you

beautiful Goddess over sky and waters
has found me
in her tranquil gaze,
 ~ I am soothed ~
my truest nature is uncovered
as a child of doubt is taught to trust again

I whisper to the heavens
what manner of woman is this lady--
who has command over the waters of enlightenment?

a sly smile crosses your face
you heard my silent prayer
the heavens themselves seek your company--
when they are lonely

I rest in your pools of understanding
wisdom is your covering
your waters crystal clear
here I find no guile

great sighs overcome my being
in a hushed voice
you whisper it is your soul crying

you look at me lovingly
saying,
take your time we will swim quietly--
in the pool of thought together

words bubble out like a babbling wellspring
softly the days
rage into years
triumphantly crashing

it's been so long daughter of Athena
who sets her compass true
I will guide you
where you wish

I am the moonlight;
 he, the stars
we hold the helm
of this universal Shi{p}

I guide the tides
I wash your shores
smooth the stones
of your mind

you might call me cruel
  I lap and ripple ~
    but my waves destroy ~

I am the breath
of the Earth
I am her menstruation
my heart bleeds for her

wherever we go
let us go far
and together

give thanks and gratitude to canis
burning with rituals his gifts,
tomes and wisdom
who guides us on this journey

when the Earth was turned
I heard her song
now she weeps
these are the tears we sail on

discovered within you is a child of pain
to heal you must bleed out the toxins
self-discovery requires a toll

the River Styx flows through me
where you wash up--
whether it be Hades
or the shores of Eden
is all up to you lady

poles shift
just as thought too shifts and evolves
as harmonies surf

I am your guide,
but you are your soul's captain
emotional sharks swim deep--
 in your unconscious mind
nasty little creatures of distrust
to move forward you must fully awaken
your mother is with you she always has been

bless us, Sirius,
guide us through the cosmic expanse
forgive us our misfortunes
as we forgive those unfortunate flames
we beacons through the darkened days
one breath;
spoken into consciousness

so it is said and so it is written
it shall forever be known in the heavens
the soul debt is lifted
