Spirit

how long
before my listeners, listen?
before my believers, believe?
before my circle encloses
and we act in unity
from nucleus
just as the unambiguous seed-
still becomes the tree
with many branches
as is known
in a blind world
it takes courage to see
how long
before you are reminded by me?

I found belief easiest
in the aftermath
of dearest hopes reap
but I as well,
found it most restorative
before my senses could grasp proof
that it would come to be
for what I knew
came to be
and what a thought
to know my thoughts
so powerful
and empowering
that what I will
has more than potential
to be
if I but only step
out on a ledge

be it not my words too empty
but defiled hearts too full and plenty
to hear of anything unhallowed
shallow be thy name which follows

I am a temple,
within a temple

my temple,
within my temple,
within a temple
aligned with my temple-
to my temple,
in my temple,
in a temple

and let it all be So, and Sacred

troubled by all that I know
overwhelmed by all there is
and still left unknown
troubled that I must disown
as soon as inherit
the two faces of a kingdom
bringing their charged expressions
to reign under one mirror
that tells two stories
one unseen
and one seen
and I am trouble
by what I don’t see that I see
and that which I see that I don’t see
