Devotion.
It takes an ocean of self-worth
To act in accordance
With the quiet voice
Inside my heart.
Rebellion.
First: consumption and conditioning.
There is no choice in the matter.
But then there are options:
To conform or to rebel.
But wait.
More options:
To conform with grace or resentment.
To rebel with love or hatred.
Transmutation.
Can I take the structure and use it
To build edges and verges
And dams and embankments,
So that new truth
New expression
Can flow through the passage of limited time?
Collaboration.
I found you in the vast sky of my own longing.
And, in you, I saw myself.
But not the self I thought I knew.
And from that new place of Being,
I gave birth to that which was unconscious,
And recognized the gift of duality.
