If I Want More, it’s because You are the Most

May 14, 2021 by Russell Wardlow Leave a Comment

you can be more than you’ve seen in yourself
you can become more than you’ve envisioned yourself becoming
I see you, I’ve seen you
because I see myself
I see myself in you
the spirit has no shell
it has no form
it is as informal as the first primal waters that screamed chaos
until God spoke order
and form was created
comfort exists everywhere to that which can be, exist
and thrive anywhere
the spirit has no circle
nor barrier
like air, it can’t be kept out
though like air, it can be forgotten
and not considered, until it suffers
what’s in you is anxious to get outside itself and expand
the spirit has no type
it just flows
flow, you
you flow
so flow
do not constrict your wave
become the form of the endless waters of creation
break the mold
become the mold
reap the consciousness of eternity’s promise
and nothing will be off limits
see yourself where you have not seen your self
imagine beyond borders
create comfort, more than comfort creates you
swaying to its waves that fit and do not fit
how you, where you, find your place
your place is here
your place is there
your place is everywhere
your place is now
wake up to the fear of truth
and walk it bravely needing no shadow or shade
the personality of the spirit is joy love energetic and seeking
now tell me
what place does it fit in better
than you, yourself?
and like the spirit, I want more
because you, are the most
