Rest-Possibilities
I want to lead you, all of you --
both Y'ALL and every part of who you are --
into a dark, SAFE place
not at all far
from where we are
now.
It's just
UNDER your skin
I want to SING you in
like the Pied Piper
stealing the children
ONLY
I am not
fooling anyone
nor asking for ransom.
I just want to HANG OUT
while you all lay about,
relaxing.
Excitation expanding,
excitement unnecessary.
Sleep deep.
I will sit
SENTRY
for centuries:
cooking
enveloping
massaging warm oil
into your thirsty top layer.
Slide down --
hot lava contracting,
retracting,
cooling back down
along canals
created by your own
old
eruptions.
LET the emotions
underflow, GO
back into storage.
This too-narrow pathway
falls away,
gives way
to a brand NEW way,
embracing effortlessness
that is NOT without
tension.
It is direction
opposite to a pointing arrow.
It is your navel --
the only part
of your body
which leads SO directly
IN and OUT
at the same time.
Slipping,
sliding,
your own
dream-nature
abiding.
Want to be
Citizens of Mystery?
Fear is a DRIVE
to stay alive.
Unafraid of DEATH,
delving into your DARK side,
there is no need to hide.
COME with me.
NOW, stay.
Right here.
THIS is where
we become
CLEAR.
