Poem Title:
Poem
You came to be here gradually, from the whirling chaos of the dreaming infant, anchored by the maternal hand to earth. Do not try to fly back to heaven today. Be patient;your guides will,with no effort, Teach you the patterns and the dance. All you need is to be open and to trust, For you have a place in the world. We need your contribution.No-one else will see this world from your perspective. And as you trust the chaos now,fear it not Should it return.Every creative act involves the breaking of these barriers by which we keep the chairs and tables anchored into themselves.The patterns may break up but new ones are somewhere near.Patience with this suffering is the only route now. You cannot go back.Heaven comes only after you have grown roots into this earth, grown sunward,and travailed the storms and stinging blows; have grown your flowers and leaves And let them fall. Accept. The only way you can go is the earthly way. You are part of us. We love you. Our hands are reaching out If you just lift your eyes. In the Chaos,God danced and rainbows Flew from his hands and tears fell from his eyes. Those tears which fertilised our earth. He wept, knowing of the pain to come; And yet,he did not cease to dance.
