Offer it Up

All of the pieces

Coming together

Energies coalesce

Some new, some old

Swirling

Pulsing with life

Full of potential

.

The time has come

It is now

All of the waiting

The planning

The growth

Everything is blooming

New watershed

Fed from underground

Deep dark waters

Waveless yet

In motion

.

Each piece chosen with care

The sacrifice

The gift

Every part a findling

Bright charm

Carried with care

Patiently putting together

What is needed

Until it is whole

Once again

.

Nothing extra

Only what is required

No adornment

Unnoticed

Each necessity

Building on the next

To form

A bright new day

.

Anticipating the shift

Heat gathers

Quickening pulse

Attention

Peripheral

No direct

Path

.

Wandering aimful

Pointed

Yet diffused

Seeing only the goal

All signal no static

Eyes and mind

Averted

Yet intact

.

Brief sojourn

Returning to self

Only light

Only fire

The flickering flame

Illuminates all

Shadow dance

Deep dream

.

Wake to wonder

Knowing only this

Whatever I have

Whatever I make

Whoever I am

I offer it up

To the one thing

That changes everything

Time, care, attention

Only one moment

Eternal

To shift this life

.

Bring us to the brink

Show us the truth

And let our tears wash away

Whatever is not ours

Let the sweat clean all

Work being wrought

Drop the pretenses

And be
