One
I am outside
I am naked
I reach my hands into the black, rich soil
Fingers sliding down into Her
Bringing mother earth up to me
Smearing her dark Purity across my arms
Down my legs and torso, face covered
Warrior-woman–princess-goddess-girl
There is a low sun and a light breeze
I stand on land that is me
Arms open, palms welcome Sky
Fingers stretched out,
Receiving
Face tilted back,
Drinking in the golden elixir of The Great Spirit
Who moves me to run
Wild and Free
In the home of my Ancestors

Unwise
We danced around with blinded eyes
Seeking like we do in youth that
Elusive serum we call Truth
Unreachable until we’re wise
And wisdom don’t set in so soon
Wisdom comes from a million tries
Or, perhaps, a million-two
Heaven on Earth is only gained
When you’ve learned the lesson in the pain
And not just said, “It’s hard, I quit”
Nor let your bitter keep you bit
But dive — heart-first! — right into it
Dig up all the Masters teach
Watch the ego’s trickery
Which leads you to a wishing well
Of good intentions, yes — paved to hell
There is no skipping steps, you see
There is no more poor me, poor me
It’s time to wake, unblind your eyes
A fool alone will claim she’s wise
So pick up that big cross you dropped
‘Cause darling
You gotta few more tries…

Ashes on the Floor
I think I love you
In a way love should never be
For there is a thing as Too Much Heat
Burns up our touch on Reality
Then there’s no place to return to
When the fire dies down
Like fires do
There’s a mad dash out the door
Inevitably
And frankly, it don’t matter if it’s you or me
One of us will have to run away
Fantasy something humans can’t sustain
What would it be like to learn to love the steady flame?
‘Stead of craving this insane raging heat
The Energy in you that brings me to my knees
But here we are, Combusting
I was a fool to think either of us can leave
Blissfully trapped in scorching chemistry
Ignited by other-worldly sparks
The kind that die out as quickly as they burst and flash
And set our silly souls ablaze
Incinerating…
Incinerating…
We find ourselves
In ashes on the floor.
