Closer to love

We are getting

Closer to love

To all our wounded hearts

Were dreaming of

And missing in the silence

Of a thousand years buried under

As we wrestled with an ache

That caused our hearts to break

Over and over and over again

But this was the path of

Opening

Yes

Even this hungering

Of generations past

Contained the longing of all we could

Manifest now

Over the ages our cells gathered

This burden

As it rose within us

Society’s mind became closed to

Depth

Sky Gods ruled

While Earth our mother

She grieved

But those of us who are listening

With our ears to the ground

Of our being

Now begin

To speak the truth

We who are part of the shedding

Involved in a becoming

Are being shown the way

Our hearts can move

Closer and closer

To love
