The Now That Is You
27-3-16
From my tunnel of mirrors, I am pulled back to the light
Asserting my connection to everything outside
The swell of my emotions I was seeking to avoid
Come rolling through me now, rolling through the void
The roaring of the waves, the beating of the rains
Now washing through my heart, pulsing through my veins
Filling my sails with the refreshing breath of life
Delivering me safely back to the present time
To the now ~ that is you, the now that is me
The now that is here, the now that is free
These surging tides are my connection to the source
The stormy nights I feared, feeling tied to the mast
Hurtling along, I was sure that I was lost
Blind to my direction, caught up in the past
But all I had to do was pay attention to the wind
Listen to the whistling its sets upon my strings
Going with the currents, hearing them inside
Showing me the way, they are my guide
Back to the now ~ that is you, the now that is me
The now that is here, the now, of eternity
My tiny universe is now connected once again
To the rising, pulsing, vibrant core, where it all began
All the fear I felt inside was just my mind’s rejection
Of the calming, soothing, rocking of a universe in motion
Across this world of waves, I see magnificence at last
The beauty and wonder, of all that has amassed
The fury of the waves no longer beats against my chest
They roll through me, and I am kissed and blessed
By the now ~ that is you, the now that is me
The now that is here, the now, eternally
I’m grateful for the journey, the waves and the winds
The cleansing, crying rain, the wisdom of my friends
Through the smoky mirror that is Tezcatlipoca
We feel into the pain, and achieve our closure
With grace we arrive at the safe haven of the heart
Where all connections rest in love and we can fall apart
The ever-radiant presence of Tezcatlanestlia
Where all can fall away, and we can truly rest here
In the now ~ that is you, the now that is me
The now that is here, the now, that’s always been
