Sweet Embrace of Freedom

Sweet embrace of the
warm waters
Both holding me safe and
Cleansing my soul.

Floating, in the open
abyss
between earth & stars,
space of all space.

Feeling the time slowly
arriving with
the rise of the heavy moon,
just one day past
her fullness.

And, suddenly
the anchor to
this layer of my being
feels
heavy.
Shackles hold a
ten-years-ago
self
in place.
Numbing the 'now' self
so she
can't be seen.

NO!
NO longer,
it is time to
unlock the key,
the connection holding onto
me  so
strongly.
It take force
of will and
strength of heart.
My soul screaming from
the inside,
"Let me go already!"

Tears of relief mixed
with sadness at
the loss
of what once was love.
Strength of
shear power to let go
of this pure love that
now weighs
me down where
once,
she had set me free.

And the weight...
she's gone.

I open my eyes
to the Beyond
the Beyond reflected
in the pulsating tides
of Mother Moon.
Her light penetrates,
breaking free
the crackling skin
of my old being.

Her light enters my
soul and bursts
forth.
Ripping, tearing, shredding
all that still remains
of the now dead skin.
The serpent shakes off the
old layer,
shuddering at the sensitive,
vulnerable
newness
that now shows through.
A deep breath.
Freedom.
Unleashed
light and wild.
