I am reborn
Emerging from the womb of this ancient lake
There is space, where space was not before
My limbs feel softer, my mind clear
I notice the depth & clarity of my breathe, gentle and smooth
Desires, now absent
I don’t feel elated with feelings of joy
Neither do I feel the burdens of any emotions
It’s a blank canvas
I am a blank canvas
When I approached the water, I did so with reverence
Taking a moment to witness her in all her beauty
Feeling the sacredness
Feeling the invitation to enter
Like all manifestations of the Feminine
Only to enter upon invitation
The greatest gifts are received, beyond fathom to
recipient who waits
With the invitation I step forward
The warmth of her, embraces me and pulls me in
The darkness of the lake, stained by the ti-trees that surround
Engulfing my body inch by inch
My body melts and merges
Her touch is soft and gentle
Each caress welcoming me home
I glance to where the tall reeds meet the water in the distance
In a momentary flash, I see a man
Indigenous man, bare skinned, with a spear
Amazed I smile .. and whisper Thankyou
The spirits are close
Time and space collapse
Beyond the veil of time, all is present here
I surrender my totality to her
My limbs become weightless
My body suspends, as I float deeper into the void
I loose all my senses
Only the sound of my breathe
Lungs submerged beneath the surface
The darkness penetrates, the warmth sinks beneath the skin
Physicality disperses, only awareness exists here
I am gone
I am free
I am free from the constraints of my body
I am free from the desires of the mind
I am free
The dream begins to fade as I wake up
The faculty of the mind releases
There is no grief
Time unwinds its coil
I am home
Spaciousness, freedom, timelessness
………………………………..
The mother requests my return
The warmth of her waters invites the awakening of senses
I feel my legs, though still weightless
I feel them gently dancing beneath the water
Awareness of my body suspended and held by her calls me back
This Divine vehicle, in all its perfection and beauty
I lover her
This body
Radiant beauty
Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou
I begin to play, moving my limbs in this warm dark womb
Innocence is me
A child of the Universe free to be
This is my rebirth
The shore calls me “you have powerful work to do here”
Gently and slowly I make my journey towards the sandy bank
I’ve gone so far, I floated far and beyond
As I get closer, my feet touch the sandy Earth
For the first time
Walking, I reach the shore where the water ends and land begins
The soft, warm, spaciousness of the lake is behind
With the firm, hard physicality of manifestation now beneath my feet
The sovereign sand
I breathe into these lungs that I call mine
I am reborn
