she knocks

steady knocking
as if in the distance
a gentle tapping
through the resistance

wake up she says
speaking within
breathing into herself
this dance to begin

wake up to life
wake up to love
wake up to self and
the mystery thereof

remnants

in the space that exists
between light and dark
there's an ember that burns
a glimmer, a spark
shifting and dancing
it hints at desire
yielding shadows
of light and
remnants of fire
as heat slowly fades
dying to coal
all that remains
of emptyness so whole

every day

there exists
a love
that permeates
the being
of the soul
and gives rise to
an expression
of life
that lives beyond
any glimpse
of perception
or perfection
a joining of all
