If
there
are only
10 years
left until a transfiguration
so extraordinary, what is an
appropriate response to such a knowing?
What do we want for ourselves,
for each other,
and for the Being
that is us?
A tantric energetic fusion
that creates the vortex
through which
the spiraling DNA
is awakened and transfigured
into the new creation.
A visionary piercing
that propels a pathway
along which others can journey
in pursuit of that same
illumination.
A voice
that speaks that vision
into clarity and manifestation
so that the hearing heart
must bow before
the majesty
A heart that distills that voice
into tones so inviting
that the sheer beauty of its call
stirs the listener's will
to rise
and follow.
A will so surrendered
to the possibility of that transfiguration
that all gratifications of ego and personality
pale in the light
of such a passionate
and opportune
co-creation.
A passion so alive, so focused
that it inspires the emerging being
to burn and create
through consumate uniting
a synthesis of dark and light
of shakti and shiva
of negative and positive duality
into one pulsating force
to fuel to life
the primal flame.
A primal flame burning so luminous
that it awakes
the sleeping serpent
to rise and birth
and transfigure
the spiraling DNA
into new creation.
And thus the circle
will be complete
as the serpent's mouth
closes silent
to bite the blood
of its own tail.
This is what I want alone.
This is what I want with you.
Nothing less will do.copyright Ann Mortifee
