Great Spirit 2020

A long time ago

The Great Spirit was

Was there

Was everything

Within everything

Knew that humanity

Could not understand

What was, was

A decision was made

To split into two

Yin and yang

Masculine, feminine

Light and Dark

Sun and Moon

One not better

Than the other

Equally magnificent

Equally alive

Equally reflecting

The Spirits essence

The feminine

Hurled high

Into the sky

Discovered in

The moon’s

Dark ray

Magically placed

Within this earth

Called Mother Nature

Sent us alive, growing

Green, purple, yellow

Gold and red

Maroon, blue and pink

Colors reflecting

Passion, in compassion,

Intimacy

The desire to embrace

A desire to be

Connected intimately

Inviting humanity

To enter into Her

To be swallowed by Her

To be found within

Her bosom

Great Spirit

Hurled in the sky

The sun

Masculine and strong

Vibrant and alive

Guiding throughout

The lighted day

Being willing

Forging ahead

Day after day

As the light

The measure

North and south

East and west

Strong and vibrant

Intense, at times

Reliable and safe

Trusting, protective

The heavens

Hurled into place

So that when looking up

A great Spirit could be seen

The essence of that Spirit

In every star

Every solar system

All of it

It’s all there

To fully embrace

It’s all there

To fully accept

If we see it

We have no choice

But to live it

I believe it

I can feel it

Embracing it

As Truth
