Like Taking Off An Old Coat (rough draft)

i remember while i searched,
how i dressed You
in a cloak of Light
and You smiled
because i believed
this was right.

"My child, My child,
there is nothing
i wear to make this Light."

You, my Beloved, took
off the cloak
and when everything everywhere
was made naked, how It shined!

"the veils you dress Me in
are for the eyes of your body
for they would dissolve
like a moth in the fire
if you saw how bright is My Love."

we make our conversations
within the soul, untarnished
by earth's gold. you,
My obedient one must remember
the taste of the sun as it rises
is like one drop of the ocean
of honey you will taste in Paradise.

this us

the i of this
is lost
like a breath
exhaled
but we share it
rather than devour.
in and out
the definition of our
is born.

have you ever felt
this lost in the oneness?
in this us
that knocked at the door
which we blamed
for imprisoning us
in our limited selves.

and now? now in the realm
of unity
we share everything
and the journey
of melting my i into your i
leaves us ecstatic,
praise the One!
we are everything,
invisible and visible,
lost and found,
dead and alive,
this flood of bonding,
as if drunk on love,
is what made us we.

to life!
ya hayy!
