Guardians of Light
protect us from darkness,
from not seeing,
from not hearing,
from building walls to not know
Protect us from paralysis and fear,
from judgements against self,
and others
that grow like tangled weeds and knots
upon our broken heartedness
Show us instead
signs that lead way
keys that unlock,
and doors that open quietly
right through our scars and cracks
Show us pathways to freedom
turbulent though they may be
that one day we’ll arrive, joyous,
inside grand and inner sanctum
so large, no heart can contain it
And then we will fall
upon bended knee
to kiss the sweet soil
that births the sacred, the true, and the immortal
“I”
Unraveled and the Birth of Joy
