RE: Ignite


RE: Ignite

me .........

Take me back
Push me forward
Stop me still
Now


Give me a live fire
Any day
Any time
Over frantic live wire
Let me breathe
In
The natural world
Till I’m fine

Let me feel
Let me touch
Let me smell
Let me think these sensual things
And
Take them in

Let me assimilate
That which doth stimulate
me ........

the notes of jazz
the strings of guitar
the plucking of cellos
The sounds
of artistic musical expression
Let me see in my mind’s eyes

Sounds sometimes bizarre
Their notations
Wrapping around me
Like a straight jacket
Restrictive
Yet blissfully so

Let
The heat of
singeing coals
chatter around
licking flames
Purple
Orange
White
Blue
Abstract
Me
And You

Let us talk
And feel our words .......
Deeply
With purpose and knowing

........  and awe


Give me the sight
of a rising full moon
in the arid
Thabazimbi  bushveld
with My Lover
completely naked
yet
fully bathed
and clothed
in the fabric beams
of
the halo-ing moon’s light
Unabashed
Unafraid
Glorified

Let me celebrate
him and me

Let me be
Free

Let me spread my arms
Let me dance
(even if just sometimes in my mind)

I (want to)
Let go
And listen to

The vineyard’s elixir
feeding through my veins
the sound of the embracing response
of my limbs
the sweet memories of where we departed
and have just now arrived
the notes reaching out of the speakers
into every space of the room
and my body
The bass
The drums
how their rhythms mimic that of my own
and reverberate soothingly
off the rocks of my inner cave

I
move
from my core
I
respond
freely
I
sense
the power


External life
sinks in through the pores of
my subcutaneous layers
(called skin)
as an intravenous drip

I
am
inspired
fed
elevated
Re-ignited....

I
feel ........
deeply .......
intensely .......

I
imaginate
speak
share

And that’s what matters the most
THAT which  scares us to our core
FORCES us .....
To our point of Origin .........
The PLACE that really makes us tick.

What makes you tick?
Can you go there?
 for just a few moments?
Can you keep breathing, even when you can’t?
And still listen?
Can you
Hear
What You have to say? ..........
Without you interrupting?
And RE: Ignite?
