In the Implicit Kingdom
The Spirit of Care
Supersedes
the Spirit of Annoyance
Those who care
do so because they are able
Their big hearts just do that
No matter where in the world they are
What they are doing
or how many others they care about
Their singularity
within the plurality
just keeps giving
as if it’s a natural function
of their spiritual
physiology
Someday my higher self
Talking to yours
Will laugh
And we’ll be glad
As all we strange, Christed Beings
Merge into one
God Popped the Question
and I said
Yes
Yes to loving the elderly
Yes to honoring the wise ones
Yes to cautious connection
Yes to joy with abandon
Yes to sending care
Yes to prayer
Yes to vulnerability
Yes to layers of fragility
Yes to truth to power
Yes to a quiet hour
Yes to you
Yes to me
Yes to everything collective we will be
God Popped the Question

Hell, yah!
This Christmas
I would like good relationships
with extended family members…
Oh, right, I have that.
How about some goals and plans and new hobbies?
Hey, I’m dancing, blogging, painting, singing…
Yah, I’m good there.
How about rewarding work?
Um, yes, I’m teaching music; I love that; I love kids.
It would be nice to have a lot of friends
from different walks of life,
friendly relationships,
men and women;
Check!
Well, there are still those Debbie-Downer moments…
but I also have the mp3’s my son downloaded
on my phone so that I could jam while I drive
or the laughs I share
with another son
on the way to his school
or the music
philosophy
and synchronicity I enjoy
with my OTHER son.
So if my husband and I could just
connect and understand each other a little more…
if we could just spend some time
apart
in different situations
living life
and getting together
while we immensely enjoy
getting to know each other
over and over again…
Wow!
I have that too.
There’s very few things that I don’t have
so few
that even if something could be missing
it’s just not! 🙂
Wouldn’t it be fun
to go gray and love it
use violet shampoo
and tell the world to shove it
I don’t mean in an angry way
just let me be who I am
when I eat bread
take steroids
and expand
Love, love, love
my inner path
trim my nails
take a bath
stand out
nice to be
good old-fashioned
newly me
(BTW, the steroids were medicine for poison ivy, not for illegally getting buff.)
Weakness
Loving all so much
Believing that love is for all
No one left outside
Is Strength
Masquerading
As dissonance
