Fullness

This is how I came to be here
with the spaces inside of me having
been filled, emptied and filled again
with a substance like nutrition -
smoky and seamless.
I feel as though I am a remnant of
what I once knew,
and the introduction to the new
is a daily adventure.

The remnant remains unchanged,
but much has been added,
stripped, grieved and replaced.
Somehow, this mapless terrain
is home to me despite it's diverse landscape.
This is how I came to be here now,
where I was supposed to be,
whole, fragile and altogether lovely.

Lovers of Light

We are a company of lovers

embodied in light

who will reveal the vineyard of heaven

to a shadowy world growing weary.

We are set on fire like sulphur

and the harvest is arriving like

spring rains gravitating gently

upon newly charred territory.

These are the fields where we dance

in mourning and in joy,

where we spin about wildly knowing

We can only go from glory to glory.
