I Walked the Silence
I walked the silence
Both free and bound
The ground smelled cool
Inhaling deeply imbedded earth’s delight
I sensed a new beginning
Spring had come to join me
Light washed through the tree’s canopy
Issuing an opening
I stepped forward warily
Breathing in the dew-swept greens
Feeling the cool rush of the sun’s rays
I opened my arms to receive Ma’s blessing
My heart and mind expanded
As I twirled in the Sun’s caress
Tilting my head back so far
The crown of trees became my gateway
Divine madness
I soaked it in
I received a breath
The odor of the greens
Filled me with wild awakening
Each embrace of the Divine’s
Devoured me in ever deepening love
Each breathe, each moment of witnessing
Led me closer to the membrane of time
Where once slipping through I would be no more
The I that I am would melt away
Prepared for the weight of awakening
I slipped once again into present time
And she stood before me
Her smile benign, full of understanding
The canopy of giant trees barely covered her crown
Her lips enticing in her silence
Parted just slightly so
They carried a simple irony in their smile
A breeze opened my heart
Devotion-filled dawn kissed my ajna
I awakened to the sun’s rays
Pressing her finger upon my crown
Just so
A tattoo opened into the light
My internal flame exploded
Taking my hand, we lifted up
Merging
The sun now liquid effervescence
Cool in its caress
The air sprinkled glittery dew drops
Allowing the ascension ease
We soared
First with the crows
Then with cranes
At last with Dakinis delighting
Their songs spiraling through my heart
I opened to the sun’s rays
Seeming now more a cooling ocean
Than a scorching flame
We merged into the light with ease
Swimming within this sea of gold
Whispering tales of earth-bound memories
Once so important
Becoming distant and forgotten
My mind, heart, womb
Melted into the sun’s cool sea
I exploded into the awakening
Breathing it in
I opened my eyes
To see her gazing into mine
We soared once again
Expanding into a love so sweet
Merging with the Angelic choir
As each individual soul chanted
Their singular bija refrain
I melted into the liquid-like energy essence
Becoming one
In silence
Surrendered
