Liberate the Divine!
Who would I have been
If you hadn’t brought me back from despair?
A wanderer perhaps
Isolated and alone I imagine
Now, even the light has changed
Now, I can see from the tops of the trees
For even they are a part of this soul
Now, I can explore the depths of the oceans
My Lover takes me
On the most amazing of dates…
He really yanked my chain
I almost bought into the idea
Having practiced irreverence for years
I thought God would never
in a ‘million years’ choose me
Until I came around that one last bend
In the road of my prayers
After every last negative thought
of my past rolled away
And the cave to my heart fully revealed itself
The joke was on me
God, had never
left.
To be worthy of God
Thou shalt not -
Drink, dance, smoke, curse, cuss, eat the flesh of animals, eat garlic or onions, be seductive, sleep with a married man, sleep with an unmarried man, wear pants, wear short skirts and make-up, reveal our voluptuous bodies -face-hair…
You name it and it is on the list
Somewhere -
Godliness is this and that
Ritual and rules, grading good and bad
Holy and unholy
Caught in the net of the list
Who would have the time
To sit in His holy arms at rest
Or to dance with Him who created
the night.
Rumi would tell me it is time to pray
To forget all my cares
All slander to myself and others
Thinking false thoughts of situations
serves no one
God is Great! Need I remember more?
Blessed with the wine
made before the grapes
I return to the sweetness of the
One.
