Sappho Speaks : Three

 

{Poet’s Note : Third Poem of Set of 5 SPOKEN WORD poems  written in SAPPHIC STANZAS }
____________________

Power of moment equals power itself
intuition is direct perception true
free from any reasoning constrictions
truth redemption raw

Intelligence with insight fresh dwells in Heart
recognition of holy inheritance 
calls going out never return unanswered 
ONE listens raptly 

Sisters ! we are pure existence, finely cased
resist not this, lest offspring rings no lacy face
cast no emotion asunder, scatter on waves
judge not Dark Nights of Soul

Identify viable passions, what’s best
explore possibilities, differentiate hest 
trust your ideas and commitments, no fear
away from crowds, hear

Will of Supreme desires meshment of leaves
birthed not to resist parts of One, reject no eaves
return to states of harmony now urgent 
acceptance of all

Equalise resistibility to trying seasons 
timid is need to fathom everything new 
lose not ourselves in futures still to arrive
motions of waves ebb
