your buds wide open

You’ve waited so long for the sun to rise, for a day to break – you’ve waited for the storm to settle, for the moon to come out – you’ve waited for a tree to bloom and for the rain to sing– you've waited for yourself to arrive ---- you’ve tried everything in your power to spill yourself into all things possible. now that you are no longer a stranger to mystery – now that your heart is closer to you than your lips the time has come for you to mingle with the force of life, to become wings and moon-nectar – to become a song we cannot rehearse - to become the joy and light of the sun – to be the ocean that holds the root of our soul – and to live like a flower, with your buds wide open in the sun-
