Deeper and deeper it goes
a splinter welling up from deep within
a threat to unsettle everything you have spent working for
a connundrum
a voice in the night tells you
“take it off!”
Shaken
you settle back into your slumber
but unable to forget what you tell yourself was madness
or dream.
So it goes.
A deep upwelling
how long will it take?
What forms will it manifest?
It is only a matter of time
for when we carry such a backlog of masks
lies we tell ourselves to keep ourselves living fat and happy
there comes that moment
of utmost courage
to step out of the realm of normal madness
and into the divine.
Gibran spoke of it.
He took them all off
and now a voice wells up within
telling you to do it too.
It is the authentic
which is enough to scare the pants off you.
But take it off.
Take them all off.
Do not fear standing naked
for you will wear nothing
but bear all within you
the truth that is what you are
like one single brilliant light
shining through the muck of all that has been built
an act such as this is enough
to tear it all down.
This temple may fall
but will be rebuilt in moments
with such a power as this by your side.
So take off the masks
all of your precious beliefs
about what you are
to know what Is.
That is wonderful, Parker
Thank-you!
