Continuum
I am wrestling with my mind
as she pulls me in one direction
opening scenes of destruction
while calling me to its opposite end
invoking peace and reconciliation
I am wrestling with the questions
that pop up like bubbles in water
coming up to the surface questioning
the meaning of greed and suffering
causing tears in the eyes of so many
I am wrestling with my feelings
as the jump off a cliff taking
my heart along for the ride
while I keep calling myself back
into the breath that calms me
I wrestle with the impending
forces warring within me
about the meaning of creation
and the path of destruction
in human history
I wrestle with the question
if there a way to hold
a spiritual myth big enough
to contain the continuum
residing in existence itself
So I pray, I chant
I dance my prayers
crying for the pain of the whole
always held by the trust
that we are not alone
that we are loved
May we be all held in trust
May we all be loved
May we all know
that we are not alone
This is my prayer
