Ceremony

Ceremony
5/27/11

This can conjure images of formality
with stoic clergy going through motions
mumbling some unintelligible mantra to 'gods'
as solemn devotees look powerlessly on,
all to placate internal human aspiration
for individual 'Spirit' and 'Source' union
that dissolves 'self' in Love's ocean,
too often we abdicate personal authorship,
responsibility, intelligence, settling for subjugation
when hoping to sidestep uncomfortable circumstance
that skirts having to earn 'wisdom',
the lessons learned accompanying 'wound' experience
healing to regain one's strength, footing,
in new world after completed transition
reminding evolutionary cosmic dance volunteered for,
with 'Soul' woven into miraculous 'Creation'
which means embodying sacred journey song
while ingeniously developing means to end,
it's true many have preceded us
leaving trail of rules to follow,
handing down 'tools', incantations to repeat,
yet, every person has unique sensibilities
living and witnessing like no other
where 'Life' becomes holiest of ritual
sacraments orchestrated by each priest, priestess,
whose 'Essence Presence' defines daily ceremony.
