Courage

Hands joined at the heart.

I lean forward, tension sustained.

The work begins,

Unwinding,

Reorganizing,

Transforming.

My cavity becomes empty.

My thorax sinks deeper into an empty cave.

The purity of silence fills the void.

Neutrality peeks around the corner.

Every cell vibrates with ecstasy as

sound emerges from my lips

the translation is secondary

to the experience of the Guru.

You are the indescribable void.

You are the Revered One.

I feel your eternal embrace of the original womb

when I enter the battleground of thought.

Only in You shall I be courageous enough

to emerge a different woman.

Only in You may I continue to unveil

the warrior you intended.

Only in You may I surrender

to the purpose of who I am.

Only in You may I be able to express it

with unwavering clarity.

My identity lies only in You, One God.

And yet my unique gifts can only

express a small part

of all that you are.

I am christened with the unfailing love

of the Divine.

I am surrounded by memories of

baptism into joy.

The ego crucified.

I am ready for any uncertainty or

confusion to bleed onto the wood,

down to the ash of the earth.

 I am broken down and

brought back to Source.

I surrender to you.

I pray to be illuminated into my birthright.

I shall pick up this sword,

but only through your Grace.

Into One, Within You,

Within Myself. 

I am

Your student.
