Good Mourning

Yes, a good mourning to you

of what was, what is no longer

and to all that has died

unable to make the journey

across the threshold

of the deep, dark night.

And in that death,

there is a creation of space

the fecund opportunity

To meet our Selves a new

to meet our body fresh

and praise the rising sun

that blankets the land in light

for another cycle.

The return of light

which helps remind us

that todays the day

to start over

to create our fate

to regenerate

any part(s) of ourselves

all the way down to our cells

that we may choose.

To do anything, everything

differently.

To see with widened eyes

to hear with deepened sincerity

to touch with ripened skin

to let our song truly begin

and to know a different way of knowing.

To unlearn

so we may remember

that todays the day

to embody our truth

thats been waiting so patiently

at the door of our becoming

longing to be expressed.

An invitation into liberation

a world of our own creation

here for us to step into

but only if we so choose.
