Poem written on my way home today

"SPACES "


There are spaces between my head, heart, soul and my breath
They are the spaces where I can survive
Like the nooks of an ancient tree

Spaces that I can saturate with happy memories
That I leave unbarred in all weathers
As within these small places, I can switch off everything from this 3D life

The gaps are at times, slight,
like the seems between you're favourite jumper
Or as vast as the stretch between each coming wave of the ocean.
But no matter the breadth
I trust the matter

And as I stood within the pouring rain
No shelter did I seek
Thunderous, all encompassing
Saturating
The type that lands and resides inside the centre of your bones
So deep and so cleansing
There is no question that you have been washed pure
Untainted

And as the lightning placed its memory behind my eyes
Where even my own mind blurs the vision
And penetrated my ears
Where once upon I couldn't hear
I heard the power speak to me
And with no further resistance
I submitted

I respected
Related
Repented.....
Not to your God
Not to any God
Because no God belongs to anyone
But to a place that I knew
Understood me....

And to feel this?
To feel emersed
To trust in
To give power to.........
A smaller ego and love is all that's needed....
