Expansion

Constructs, walls, paradigms

Jumbled and twisted

Push to the surface

Fractured

Forming a protective, brittle shell

Darkening the eyes of Soul

Forms

Once solid, unbending and unforgiving

Are now 

Lifeless

Powerless

Vestiges of old thought patterns
Old ties

Obsolete and impotent

Are forced out and away

Sluffed off
Cut off
The way is shut
I am me
I am mine

New patterns form

as

Life within me grows
As Light within me glows
A door to the Universe
Opens wide
My heart is joined
With the One

I am large

Expansive

No longer the child

(Though, I am also the child!)

The process will continue

The light will always shine

Filtering out what is false

Deceits are revealed

Falling away to dust

Leaving

Only me

In Light

In Love

Dancing With Mom

                                                                                  * 

I danced with my mom tonight

Music played

People sang and clapped

Behind it all

Me, Mom and her wheelchair

Moved to the beat

I skipped, hopped and strolled

Spinning my mother around

Humming and singing along

Mom's voice sometimes joining mine

"I'm the happiest girl in the whole USA!"

"Mom, isn't this Dolly Parton?"

"Yes"

(turns out it was actually Donna Fargo)

"Swing low sweet chariot, stop and let me ride."

"The bass part in this song reminds me of Uncle Loren."

"Yes, it does."

"Que sera, sera"

Elvis

An actual Dolly Parton song

YMCA

Cotton Eyed Joe

On and on the music played.  

On and on I moved my mom 

In our own little dance

Every word she is able to utter

Is precious

Every time she smiles

A gift

I press the side of my head to hers

As we roll along

"I love you, Mom.  I love you."
"I love you!", she replies.
