For This You Came

Photo found here

Roll down the windows

throw open the doors

dip your toes in magenta

burnt umber, cobalt blue

Let yourself sing off-key

For this you came
to show up 

Here

to swim and splash
in the shimmering palette

of you

to make something out of nothing.

What good is "good" or "safe"

when you can have spilling over laughter

heart-melting connection

breath-giving moments

of Real?

Rip off your life-preservers

stop clinging to the shore 

of what makes sense

Turn the sky upside down

Let faith be your shelter

your candle, your torch

your one and only

safety net

With hand over heart
in this right now moment

say yes!

a leaping-with-the-whole-of-your-body 

YES

to your Life
