I have a title for the below poem but since it's also the title of my upcoming poetry/art book, I want it to be a surprise! (I love surprises!) With lots of flow and magic (which I'm fully envisioning) I'm hoping you won't have to wait too long.

to step to shimmy through that mirage of can’ts and not enough-ness
to be something you've always been something you can't not be.
one who cannot be contained or named one who sleeps and dreams and wakes who forgets and stumbles who hungers
despite so much returns and returns to Love
You can let go of those mountains you carry. You don't have to wait a breath longer to be all you ache to be
a breath so wide--- so cracked-open wide even the moon enters. And the two of you with your galaxy full of Light with your naked wide- openness
can shimmy right on through to the other side

You don't have to wait
a second longer
to move
You don't have to try
Breather of life
to be Seen
and understood
one who despite-
I know how very tired you are.
You can let go now.
all you so perfectly are.
Simply breathe
can shimmy
Oh friend. How did you know my soul needed to hear this? Thank you.

You won't believe this, but "shimmy" appears to be one of the words of 2012 for me :)
ReplyDeleteSo looking forward to holding and celebrating the birth of your lovely book.
