BLUE: Spirit

Jewel hidden deep
Charcoal grey, rock walls,
Chipped like the arrowheads of my ancestors
A misty gauzy shroud blows
In the wind
A wise, innocent, wise child stands guard
At the mouth
Her magic veiling my eyes
Your eyes
My eyes
Your eyes
She sees time
Passing
Passing
Passing
Waiting for the moment
The moment of
The moment of integration
Child
Teen
Adult
Fused
Fused into one
Wise, innocent, wise child steps into my skin
The teenager controlling my brain expands like a balloon
Down
Down
Down into the body
I discarded
So many decades ago.
Down into the body
I neglected
Neglected
Neglected to see she was waiting
Wise child
Waiting
For the reawakening
My throat opens
The voice that emerges is
Clear
Beautiful
Keeping time with the
Beating of my
Heart
Ba-dum
Ba-dum
Ba-dum
Signing a beautiful
Loving
Lullaby
The shroud from the cave
Floats to my
Middle-aged body
And covers it
Covers all that is contained within it
The ages
The spirits
Protection gifted from the universe
Flowing from the brush
The pen
The keyboard
The mind
The mouth
The hands
The eyes
Seeing
Hearing
Tasting
Touching
As one
Awareness unfolds
I am
The crust of the earth
The water that flows upon the surface
I am the seed
The flower
The wind
The slipping of the continents
One against the other
I am the volcano
The coral
The elephant and the gnat
I am gravity
Pulling inward
Inward
Inward
So deeply inward that I find myself
Outside
The atmosphere
Hurtling toward the rest of the galaxy
The universe
I am the sun
The stars
I am all that I am
And was ever meant
To be
I am blue
Blue (my favorite color)
Blue (my favorite sound)
I am blue
I am free.
I am me.
I am you.
