Attention to detail, the domes & pocks in a deer trail.
Feeling gratitude in meditation -- make it real!
Questing -- it's like I'm rewriting my own pre-quel.
No right or wrong way to do this -- I cannot fail.
Hearing the Snow Geese migrate South, reciting a fairy tale --
Delivering a message to those who decide to open their mail.
Moving slow in isolation, learning from the Snail.
Sleeping in debris, growing a snout & tail.
For nothing is impossible or without meaning when you pay attention to the details.
To my future self I'm linked with a cord,
where anything is attainable & I'm never bored.
Light as a feather is the dream, not stiff as a board!
Flowing like water, like air, like fire, like dissolving war.
the subtlties in everything shall not be ignored!
I can shape me, I can shift me, spread my wings and be assured
that I can be me, I can see me, I can alter the double-edged sword...
So that it becomes a mirror, I can know me more clear
which is honestly the best reward.
The Moon up there while we do daily pirouettes,
shows her curved surfaces a little more, then a little less.
Inspriation for movement & shining light back on us,
2 mirrors back and forth, the view is marvelous
So come on now & moon dance!
Feel the gravity take you & release all your regrets.
Sweep me off my feet & sweep out all the mess.
Dust off your shelves & discover what's in them cabinets
Turn it into gold in your mind & realize your abundance.
(all this abundance...)
So come on now & moon dance!
i can shape me, i can shift me!
i can be me, i can see me!
i can shape me, i can shift me!
i can be me, i can see me!
