Collogue

Sentimentally, I wept
For the rose pedals I have spread,
Are for all the dates I have kept,
Are for all the words I have ever been touched by or said in depth
For my brethren led astray, to be led to inner truth, joy, love and freedom
For my kindred; all is ours, and ours is for all; equal
For my breath at arms length, inward; I seek, am I to rise or am I to fall?
It is my choice which prevails
For life everlasting is never dead,
For every deed is Holy and every moment sacred
Decadently, I slept,
In consideration of my own follies, of my own rejoices and graces
All experiences,
All growth,
I taught, I listened, I thought, I said, I did, I experienced, I grew and tasted
I slept on, closing in on my soul once unfed and hungry
From downtrodden
I learned to grow from my weakness and follow my innermost desires
I leapt through the thin air in acceptance all seemingly in a single instance
As though engulfed completely by love, in warmth, in hunger and circumstance
I awoke in wisdom and giggled heartily with laughter and confidence
To know Life freely,
To know Love greedily,
To know Joy increasingly,
To know the Truth completely
