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. *Free Verse and senryu

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
