I can see my shadow in the light
I can see how it wants to shine
How it longs to be warm
The warmth gives it space to be and to see the gift that it offers

Why does the sky cry?
To water the seeds below
To nourish the ground
To release from murky cloud

To open
to a clearer
day

It's goes way beyond the physical
Intimacy connects deeply
Heart
Mind
Spirit
Body
A touch is felt on all levels
An exchange of energy
Sharing isn't just about what you first see
It penetrates your core
Emotion is a heavy door
I don't pass anyone the
key

The thoughts
that blacken the day
Strike like a punch
Bruise and lump
Sticking out like a sore thumb
Taking on the fears you become
Insecurities run rampart
Throbbing in the heart
Tearing love apart
Kicking up the dirt
You feel
It stabs
It hurts
You cry
You numb
You succumb
Purging the night sky
In the corner of your eye you see a star shine Bright

Deep into the chambers
The bowing dance where axes fall
The circle initiate rolling to miss the impending blow
In honour Chief welcomes
Into the dark room no floor
Walking onwards to tunnels door
Down backwards below
Out to the forest grown
Travelling by beat alone
Each footnote a song
Stepping to where heart flows
Over under and burrow
Facing animals undercover
To the herd they wonder
Following the trail
Wrestling wild
Lasso a crocodiles tail
Freeing from swamps prevail
Onto the banks of the giant cat ranks
Hitching a ride on its back
Into the unknown
Faith guide way home
Under rocks and stone
Sinking hands groan
From lions den
Sleep among animals
Rest has flown
Chiefs hand reckons
To surface tow
Gopher stand tall
Call echoes
Pass shown
Now at white home
Can not enter
Still with impatience
Test of will
Feet won't keep waiting
Into the body delve syncing with the breath
Reach out for God's help
Nailed to the ground
Stand bound
Hear music sway
Hold firmly stay
Released onto the earth
Legs crossed
Bow to humble heart
Awake

Black & White
Yin & Yang
Captivating drawing presence in
A trance into the contrast and parallel
The beauty in the dark and light dwell
Calling into balance
Awareness
Rise and Fall
Complementary enthral
Opposites to bring whole

Profound healing
Revealing deep-rooted feeling
Pain on a journey through the heart
The wound rests open sharing through devotion
Playing out its recorded part
Shadows diverge from the dark
Outstretched hand holds shadows hand
We will walk together warming and fading as we travel
Reuniting our spark
