i embrace

i embrace

i embrace all of me...

i thank all of me

for playing out this

thought of separation

from the truth of the

union we share

i embrace Christ

as I embrace the rapist,

for they are all "me"...

i have descended into all

of these "minds" of the

one mind...

they are all me...

I embrace all of me now

i thank all of me

for playing out my dream...

now,

i walk the new road

a new now

i walk the road

set before me

where every sign

says

only love is real...

i walk the road

that sings

i love myself....

i walk the road where

a caution sign

is only there to remind me

that i have projected a thought

that fear could be real

and forgot to laugh...

i walk the road that

is made of golden stones

and whose path

leads to only one destination

a golden door

waiting for eons of time

for me to open it

as i do...

i open it with caution

a little remembrance of fear

once again rears its head

its unreality takes a moment

for me to digest...

then

on the throne before me

is only

\me/you

it has always been me

and in this knowingness

I AM only here now

to remind you

that it is you

~denisa~

the sweetness of embracing

those as you
who offer only love
is soooo encouraging
and helps to still the heart
which cringes
at apparent rejection
of my loving gestures....

still i thank
these fearly witholding ones ---
though at first responding
with an angry sorrow
born of separation's thoughts...
now washed away
in the wine of forgiveness
and love's continually offerings
