"My Soul" Poem

Photo: "Out of Earth" by Brook Shaden
Ocean of still water
Bottomless 
Birthless and deathless 
The presence of Now…
I dip myself into it
Wrapped in living warmth
My mouth sings Truths 
Rising from my belly like bubbles
bursting onto the surface 
Is every right thing
I always knew.

The holy spirit
Is ancient music
Breathing secrets into my skin
An inaudible volume 
Shaking me at the cusp
Unleashing every ghost…
I free fall into soft, giant hands
No matter how far I wander
In an instant I am in the lap
of God.
