Love is letting go of fear

Marooned on my island
in a forest far away
I feel the need to make a stand
not just sit and pray.

By the riverbank I am inspired
to hatch a charm for you today
an ember fire of heart’s desire
a little passion play.

So I fashion me a little raft
from leaf of withered weed
and cradle in this fragile craft
my tiny crystal seed.

I nudge the tiny fragile boat
towards the foaming stream
bobbing up and down it floats
like held in hands unseen
‘til the current swiftly bears
the precious cargo sacred light
down roiling water stairs
and headlong out of sight.

O pray it finds a peaceful shore
a little bay with yellow sand
to beach it safely at your feet
be plucked up by your hand.
A treasure you can ever keep
and make your heart it’s home.

Abiding there to grow and swell
'til bursting like a ripened pod
it fills the spaces where you dwell
with beauty, blessings, living gods.

Your inner core it pulses bright
the sanctum now is found
forever to be filled with light
and crystal chimes of sound.
