The Absolution of Love
In a moment, yes a moment, I want you to close your eyes….
Though first, you must breathe deeply, in and out, slowly
Taking in the scent of this moment…let the cool air drink you
Rest your jaw; loosen its tension, and roll your shoulders gently, allowing them to feel,
Yes, feel, each little particle, each essence of caress…let it press…let it press…
Until you are one with them, rightly so, as insignificant as they seem, as important you all are!
In a moment, I will ask you to close your beautiful eyes,
Yes, the eyes that wander into seas of words, seas of colors, and seas of truths…
Though before facing the darkness under your lids,
You must hold on…no, not cling, hold…and embrace, the absolution of love
Cradle it, nurture it, and taste its wonders ever embedded around your weakened soul
It is a weakness you feel, though cannot control…the weakness that leads to letting go….
Sometimes we fall in thin air, because we fail to hold…. Yes, hold, so we can let go…
So we can let go….and behold the beauty that has long waited to touch us
In a moment, I want you to close your eyes,
Though in relaxing your body and soul of all its past agonies, sorrows, trials and tremors,
I want you to imagine them open,
To a light so proverbial , the angels forgot to inspire mortal to put its presence in verse
So strong, it leaves the world we know behind
That eternal moment only you understand,
Only you can imagine…
Do not turn away from the thought when your eyelids beg to be lifted
You must hold them there, in all composure of heart
In a moment, so near, you must ready the soul without fear
Without tears, tremors, trepidation…
You are ready to face your revelation
Now close your eyes…
