Image for the poem Up to task

Up to task

 I have been selected. I carve my path through these jungles, machete in hand. My tools are sharp. I am up to task.
 My feet hit the ground in time, but not as a slave to the clock. I am not Ceasar's servant. I am a tramp with a vagabond heart.
 I am transient. I am homefree. I follow the signs in front of me. Never looking behind. I am present. I am now. I let go.
 My love is like no other. No one shall define it for me. It is of source. I revel in awe. Free to do what I choose, I now attest for what I do. I will gladly play the roles the gods have given me. I am a participant, never a spectator. The price of happiness is paying attention.
 I have no need of money; only use. I am energy exchange. Having nothing, I am ready to receive. Participation with intention is my greatest gift and service, my pleasure. Love is affirmation. Jealousy and possessiveness is doubt. Every act of joy should cause joy in every person aware of it.
 I will not wait for freedom; it can not be given to me. I declare my freedom. I am of the gods and goddesses, I am free. I do not seek beauty, I find it. Having found beauty, I've become acquainted with truth. By knowing the truthful, I have become assured of beauty. My lamp is lit. My light grows.
 In this light, the darkness recedes. It is a single light, but it is enough. I am ready to learn. The oppurtunties to teach will be provided. My will is free. I accept. I refuse to fly with the tiny wings of a sparrow when I have been gifted the wings of an eagle.
 I need not make myself, I am created. I do not doubt the gift, so it becomes impossible to doubt the result. Being sure about what I want, no doubt can linger or remain.
 Yes I cherrish you, my family, and my tribe. I cherrish Gaia and all earthlings. I cherrish the heavens, the stars, the moon, and sun. I cherrish the light of spirit in your eyes. May peace be with you, you are free to shine. Shine on oh resilient one! Your brilliance is a sight to behold!

Author's Note
I wrote this while backpacking and hitchhiking Hawai'i. This was after my first 10 day fast, and came to me during my first sitting with Grandmother Aya. Any suggestions on how to tighten it up would be appreciated.
