I had this experience I’m afraid to share
For fear that you’ll think me quite unaware.
There was a man, at a time in my life
Who fooled me with presents of ego and strife.
He most unfortunately kicked my ass
I lay in a puddle of criticism and crass.
Eventually I arose when I found him to be
Not at all the problem, the problem was me.
We drove ‘cross the country, spoke barely a word
But that silence served me with all that I heard.
I’m finding “the nothing” can be so profound
While “the everything” can throw your heart to the ground.
I moved and I grew, but pretended not to know
Where I was headed, where I must go.
Truth is, I’ve always known that place
Not in destination, not in space.
But in feeling caresses from angels and guides
Momentary blessings of divine insight.
This is the move that is next on table.
Drink it, eat it, do all of which I’m capable.
This moment we share is the land that we long for
Let’s wait no more and know what we’re strong for.
This is the minute that is mine to savor.
Each one that passes makes me that much later
To the dance & the magic of humanity’s charms
To the embrace of a spirit with open arms.
The stars are aligned for my gain and success
And for helping humanity out of this mess.
I can call it my destiny, or perhaps my fate
I can try not to name it, I just can’t delay.
“I call it the next step” this guide she did say
“Take it, be grateful, be kind, pave the way.
“Others will follow when they sense your bliss
Such an opportunity you won’t want to miss”.
So that man that I drove with in infinite silence,
Was merely a conduit for sweet divine guidance.
