lullaby to humans

oh humans
this is a lullaby to you

Sweet humans don't you know to stop looking
for God
or Goddess
far away

There is no house to enter
no door to leave open
God lives in you
you are Gods home.
You are the arms of God
and the eyes of God
and God is in the arms and eyes of every person you see
brush by
or touch
God is in everything you see and and do
 
You sleep in Gods bed
You are wrapped in the Goddess cloths
fed by her plants
The breath of spirit comes into you with every inhale
flows from you with every exhale
Your body is as sacred as they come
every mistake you make
feeling you feel

The beginnings of time
are in the pain in your chest
in everything that feels right
and warm.
God is in the words frozen in fear
on your tongue
that long to come out
but won't

Feel the fear
the visceral fear
righteous anger that you were placed in this maddening
crazy puzzle world
and know
it is a magical blade of two sides.
because there is also nothing to fear
Nothing to fear in the dark
in the sweet end of the day
or days
end of years
or time running out
or the dog running loose
nothing to fear even in your children dying
or suffering
or the end of the Earth
the end of the Moon
or the Sun
moving to a place where the stars are not the same
God is there
is everywhere
everywhere you have ever been or will ever go
in this life
or after
there is no mystery
that is not in you
or some how tied to you
you all part of all that has ever been
or will ever be.

Oh humans
so caught in our torture
of each other
and our cages
and seprateness
so broken
and whole.
All will be forgiven
all is forgiven
because you are God
you are in God
and God is you.  

Sweet humans sleep a peaceful sleep now
because you are right
you are good
and for now the sun
that we know
and love
will rise tomorrow
and will again shine its love
our love
on us.

When you are lost

When you are lost

and I don't know where

when you can not hear me

and there is nothing I can do

I need to know 
it is your road to travel

your journey

to come out from

or

not

lost

in the woods

or your in own mind

I will give you your journey

I will trust in you

I will trust in all that is

In the endless circles

of hellos and goodby's

of babies and wrinkles

rocks and stars

the endless circles 

of struggle and healing

violence and birth

rotting and growth

I will trust

I will trust

and I will still call

I will call your name

sister

neighbor

friend

I will call

my voice echoing against the clouds

and hills

I am here

We are here

just over the ridge

down the creek

around the block

right in front of you

We are here with waiting arms

waiting to hold you and all your sorrows

we are here 

with plenty

with food to nourish you

and blessed water to quench you

The wind is still sweet

and for now there is enough

enough food

enough love

enough time,

sunshine and blankets

trees and fertile earth

eat it with me

share with me

care for me

cry with me

for we are here together 

but everything we know

and love

will die

Then I see

I need to let go and know

That it is our journey to travel

There is no going back

no other way to find

I can not lock the door 

we can not hide

or buy a map of lies from a slick sales man

So I may as well stand as tall as I can 

look as fully as I can

with out blinking

at the future we have in front of us

a species

perhaps suicidal by accidental design

so scared and full of pain

a species of beauty and brutality 

that has learned to care for and nurture the most beautiful seeds 

and to tortures ourselves and each other 

a species grasping at hope and stories

stories of hate

stories of perfection, bliss,

shiny gold, stories of sleek cars and

Gods in the sky

or buried in ourselves

that save us

or reject us

So scared we have sold each other a thousand mountains of trash, a million books of lies 

and as our home planets eco systems shifts 

as our own children's fate shifts under our feet 

We hoard resources, 

build fences and walls from each other

we bicker of needless details and trite slices of coated candy

So scared we can not see another path to take

I will try as hard as I can

not to loose myself in the fear

but to wait in wonder and awe

while we are here

as we prepare

to let go

Wash me with your tears

bless me with your smile

gaze into my eyes 

and cherish me 

and I will cherish you

for everything we know

and love

will die.
