Blooming at the threshold
I invite you to be here
to inhabit this liminal space
where illusion begins
to disintegrate
standing on this razor's edge
noticing your breath
feeling what it means
to live in this body
feeding on the nutrients
this earth provides
residing in this space
constant and not at all
recognizing the compassion
of reality
sun filled fatality
moon bright mortality
present to the irony
of material causality
Diamond eyes
cutting through the lies
heartache full
sadness free
I know you see
be in between
the solitary cave and
the systematized slave
the possibility of truth
rests in the unknown
No absolutes hiding
to be found
energetic cycle round
existing here
in this earth bound
beginning and ending.

this poem is a beautiful reminder, Allison.
i struggled on my cushion this morn
with the boogeyman,
Fear.
Ugh!
sometimes, cellular memory
is
a lonely landscape
in the territory of ambiguous Grief.
what a teacher…
stayed with it…
and through it..
and noticed
what was going on
in my Bod and
Heart.
breathing in and
breathing out
Loved the beautiful flow of your poem,
