To shine in tenderness

In the sweetness of the shelter within
the unwritten language of the moss covered walls
leading you in the delicate touch of life
on the way out
on the path within
the embrace of light
burning away
lighting up
leaving the essence
to shine
in tenderness
so strong

Pure healing
And then we rise

To run through our veins
galaxies
colliding energies
and in the death of this dance
a new world arises
right within us
in the cradle
folded in time
unloosened by birth
the wonder of all
carried by life and all its beings
and as if in an assembly of the powers that are to be
they are looking now at you
to rise
to align
to be who you are
an invitation open to love
and of all the deaths you have died before
this is living
so rise
rise
rise
like a phoenix from the ashes
over and over
again and again

To love is more

The beauty we are
the life we contain
the blessing we carry
the tenderness we possess
the wonder we hold
the joy
the divine
the sacred
the love
let us wear it on our sleeves
for us to remember
and forget what is not
as a reminder
tattooed through the bones
that
to love
is more
than to live or die
