The All Seeing I

A light under a bucket, yes..I've hidden there
been the squeaky wheel that got the oil
acted uncaring, had my ups and had my downs
lifted folks on my shoulders
acted the sage, acted the clown
hope to fill a stage before I'm over...

from between closed lids
iris's roll as day breaks pane
lashes move aside 

Questioned the right, questioned the wrong
been a sanctuary to many..
straddled Goliath like the colossus of Rhodes
there's an owl-handled knife near my bed.

seeing halfway round
trust in your ability to turn
who are you

Fall into me now, soft and warm,
come into my light for you know, I've some of yin
I've some of yang and light peeps out you know.
You new born chicks who strobe in the light
remember, the dark can not hide you..
Your soul your chi, the light of God will
aid and let ALL find you.

In many ways, it feels you have written my own story, by the end of the day, between closed lids, I sense how the strength inside subsides, and we cannot hide our true selves, our true fears from the dark...the secret, if I read you, is to let go...and let the peace...the light find you. (I have the hardest time with the "letting go" part....but I'm slowly learning to do that, a little at a time)..:)

So profound, Debs! The yin and the yang, can be flexible or transposable. "Your soul your chi" most definitely intact and functioning well, Debs! This piece is well worth rereading, I know it has much substance with many facets. Keep well, best wishes, Mikki
