God's Dream
Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.'
-Khalil Gibran
My God, I thought you had loved me,
as sunlight dancing through a leafy tree
and the trunk, a rough exterior,
but surely a siphoning pith within.
I held the water on my skin and loved it
and in this way, I thought you had loved me.
My God, I thought you had propelled me
like pirouetting seeds jettisoned on a soft breeze
under a great maple tree to land softly
on a canopy of mossy dampness all around me
and yet...

Religion is...
only as important
as you want to make it
... it's your life...
it is one more way to relinquish .
... control...
have you ever noticed
how they like to threaten…
...Your Immortal Soul...
they'll try to convince you
...to cede your power away
...to them...
...but not to worry...
they'll tell you what to say...
there will be no decision making for you
there will be no proof offered...
...and none will be forthcoming
there will be no explanation proffered...

Understanding what a great happiness it is to be able to take the self on a spiritual path which includes
pharmaceutical blockers of testosterone
(goddess worship)
(the me which I had locked myself into
was a shell)
I kept trying to pierce that bubble. Two
and a half years; deconstructing
my mind; going completely mad
voluntarily; losing it. Doing so because I
knew that on the other side of that, in
conjunction with following a self-
consciously defined "spiritually
transgender path," there lay a different
person.
And I knew that I would have given ...

Drifting Clouds
Last drifting clouds of night
puppets of dark taking flight
before the pyres of dawn
over the scarlet roses
rising to the halyards
of God's believers
echoing love of life
awakening to a temple of gold
last drifting clouds of night
puppets of dark taking flight
puppets of dark taking flight
before the pyres of dawn
over the scarlet roses
rising to the halyards
of God's believers
echoing love of life
awakening to a temple of gold
last drifting clouds of night

Kiln Hot
stoic, bold and
searing
like kiln hot
liquid's
heat
fires of the eons
memories
passed down
generation to generation
within like arms
—only she creates
sacred wombs
amongst
all the tombs
silences
fill
thick fought air
birthed by
strength beyond
all comprehension
of what is strong
reinforcing, certainty
finding those
scars
battle won
bleeding of
pride and quiet ...

Morning prayer: at the bridge
I breathe
And bridge the gap
I breathe and build a bridge
To the harvest
To the floor of gold and fields
They shiver
But mighty and erect
They carry me
Flowing fields
Of gold and suspension
I breathe
Lungs fresh
Expelling the worst of me
Expelling the best...
Dot ..dot.. dot ..
the time I have carried
By will alone
Against my better judgement
My legs the strongholds
Of many devils and my flesh
I have made the journey prior
Mostly in my skin

Mother of God
A Mother Of God,
See’s the light in everything.
Loves without judgement,
Satisfied with all blessing.
She is strong,
Patient, her love is true.
Carrier of heavy burdens,
So you don’t have too.
She has no fear,
Has a sense of calm.
To help her know just what to say,
Her voice, it says it all.
Her struggles taught her to be brave,
God taught her about forgiveness.
When everything comes crashin,
She’s out giving second chances.
She’ll bring you comfort,
When life seems to fall apart.
As god instilled her...
See’s the light in everything.
Loves without judgement,
Satisfied with all blessing.
She is strong,
Patient, her love is true.
Carrier of heavy burdens,
So you don’t have too.
She has no fear,
Has a sense of calm.
To help her know just what to say,
Her voice, it says it all.
Her struggles taught her to be brave,
God taught her about forgiveness.
When everything comes crashin,
She’s out giving second chances.
She’ll bring you comfort,
When life seems to fall apart.
As god instilled her...

Consequences
That quiet moment
I questioned
Faith
With courtesy
Deity replied
"I believe in you"
Lifting the veil
Everything changed
That moment
I knew
I questioned
Faith
With courtesy
Deity replied
"I believe in you"
Lifting the veil
Everything changed
That moment

Naturalism
When the world falls silent
After an uncomfortably long pause
I will be completely alone
While the buildings creak and the crow gnaws
Finding a path along the crest of the mountains
And living naturally upon life's bountiful fountain
After an uncomfortably long pause
I will be completely alone
While the buildings creak and the crow gnaws
Finding a path along the crest of the mountains
And living naturally upon life's bountiful fountain
