I AM letting go
The time has come
Morning realization
This is done
I AM moving on
Though filled with love
Dawning here and now
Clear, from above
I AM placing faith
In you and yours
Capable of choice,
Successes, more
I AM opening fists
And opening heart
Letting what comes next
Lessons impart
I AM freeing you
And freeing me
To live and learn and love, now
Judgment free
I AM shunning fear
To let love bind
Illuminate my soul
Heart, psyche, mind
ready
for battle
limber up
stretch and flex
physicality and mind
prepare yourself to interrupt
both inner & outer flow
life’s momentum
gone askew
~ Now ~
Be Brave!
It’s up to you.
Soar, eat ether,
see what has never been seen,
depart, be lost,
but climb.
- Edna St. Vincent Millay
Like Vincent, Charles, Oscar, Paul, and Henri
I AM tempted to soar
~ surprising none more than me ~
Via Absinthe
Conservative, risk-aversive, straight-narrow, certainly
I’ve a craving for ether
Yearn to rise up and see
What’s never been
Fear of departure, lest forever lost
I analyze hazards
Consider all costs
Of climbing
And I choose

God spoke,
“Go on, now. Do it. I gifted you. Be brave.”
And as she always had done,
She listened and obeyed.
She left that breaking place,
But then old fears set in.
She thought, “How to begin? Within?”
Alone.
~
“You’re not.”
He spoke again.
~
“Identify your heart’s desire.”
“You’re God. You tell me, sir.”
“You’re god, too; and I trust you.
Choose your path, my dear.”
“I want a shoppe
Mine, bottom to top
Where evil dare not enter in.”
“Good plan,” He said, “Lambkin.”
~
So she and God,
They found a space
She made it perfectly her place.
Called it “The G Spot,” after Him.
He was amused.
Evil ventured not in.
Win ~ Win

Should you manage
To conjure ‘nough courage
To forbid what’s rightfully mine
†
You’d see
‡
I’ve grown, matured
Overcome and endured
Blessed by love, education and time
†
So don’t make me brandish my weapons
Old foe
You will not survive
