She said “What if before we decided to take the next journey in human form, Before we said “yes, I’m ready” to touching our feet back down firmly in the soil, Carrying bits of star dust and cosmos in our hearts, We sat with Creation - we sat with God - and God laid out our life on a golden scroll, gleaming with the story of our soul - and asked for our yes? What if we said yes to all of this?” Said yes to being the one to answer the prayers to be loved with the depth of the oceans by a strong woman. Said yes to be the holiest mirror of our human brilliance, Said yes to penetrate the heart down into the DNA and rearrange it to the sound of a sacred hymn, Said yes to burrow deeply into the soul - making a home with a fire forever burning that not just warms the spaces cold and dark, But illuminates them with a constant prayer of everything pure, beautiful and true. Said yes to being a hand that meticulously crafts a road map back to the innocence of a soul unscathed by the pain we collect through the years, back to place inside we can dwell that is serene. I think I said yes To tearing hearts open wide and making space for crystal rivers to clean, And mountains to emerge that you stand tall upon and love yourself like the first golden light of dawn. I said yes To breaking down the walls built with shaking hands to keep out what hurts Said yes to lending mine to rebuild the walls of stone and mortar and the first song ever sung, So that when the world comes crashing down into a billion shattered pieces Like a star exploding in the furthers chasms of ether, You can be **** sure you will cast your sunlight down upon all that is broken And be a pillar of un-shakeable strength For all to look upon in awe Of the magnificence you carry deep and pulsing Within your blood and bones.
