Poetry  Time

Today I want to share with you an unpublished poem... in that it is not included in our 2 poetry books. It speaks of the purpose of life, the epic journey of life - the study of gurus and shamans, thought leaders and therapists - the search for meaning. 

To Dance As One

© Lillian Brummet Dec. 2017

... In memory of those who’ve passed before. 

No longer chained and weighed 

By loss, by grief, by stress…

By uncertainty.

My wings unfurl a little more.

A changed heart,

Once yearned for awareness….

Then, regretted that awareness.

 

Driven to inspire change,

Then, inspired by those

Creating change.

Settled in this home,

This lush valley,

This good life…

And as projects slow down 

I question:

What will the future years hold?

More work yet to be done…

…Beyond that…

I yearn to walk consciously.

But what is that, exactly?

…It certainly goes beyond awareness

Goes beyond being proactive.

I think it means: walking in love,

Walking in kindness,

With courage and generosity

With decency and dignity.

Living poetically, with grace.

Enabling others with hope, with a smile.

To enrich the sphere in which we live,

As a gardener, friend, neighbor, citizen.

This is walking consciously.

Or does it mean  - coming to a sense of unity?

Can I reveal Self, while feeling vulnerable?

Accept the change that brings growth?

Pondering aside, I embrace

Each opportunity to learn

And strive to blend logic and morality

With a healthy emotional response. 

Perhaps... walking in love

And living consciously 

Are all about learning how to

Join in the dance as one.
