what is ancient is made new again

I
We feel like liquid gold is coursing through our veins,
A scattered shot, ripping the Earth’s heart open,
With horses’ reins now torn apart.
Hearts aflame,
We stand up tall, legs intact.
Trees our cover, path uncertain and carriage wheels wobbling;
Heads still squabble, yet –
The Owl dreams, “return”! With eight folded wings,
Loving even evermore,
Binding now grace of
A peace, a place for the here and after and more.
II
Yes, this seeing in the dark, beyond the frayed seams;
No distress, simply a redress beyond our means.
Now reveals a crashing universe still unbinding,
Tumbling down with dragons’ tails thrashing.
And yet we are still, blessed with clearing winds,
And waters around, in, and beneath, and in-between …
Our breath singing even more from the deep.
No more millstone at the neck,
The curse finally broken,
Our shared sacred root is cleansed.
As hearts and souls now lead the way.
III
Wanderers all, not a person anymore, yet a more living with, and as plants we be!
We fill spectacular membranes of life together
Extending upward and outward and all around.
Star seeds finally landed, taking shape and opening space
For more releasing, more remembering.
Because we remain
IV
Now we dance as a circle, a new soil
Collapsing into the open space,
Colors welcoming all of creation, all directions.
“It is one, it is one,” she cries,
What is ancient is now new again.
Stop this wailing, we are already here,
Paradise holds us up.
V
And yet we wonder how these cosmos hearts continue to disappear.
The vapors that carry us, hosting the invisible.
Yet look and see, the tree of life awakens in our hearts

Darshan to Humankind from the Divine Quality
Winged Star Seed Water Bearers

Remembering of course that our bodies feed our planet; our planet is our body and it is made up mostly of water. And this element of water is how we must free the consciousness of the reflections of all of creation even as we wander through all of the dimensions enfolding and unfolding us unto each other and onto our Self and also into freedom and emptiness.
The moon reflects the sun even when it’s hidden or traveling on its own axis… Our perceptual states can shift internally similar to the movements in the cosmos, represented by the planets, stars, moon & sun. To me, it feels like it’s now our job to create a new constellation to begin to mirror and match the consciousness that is arising in harmony with the all and everything… So our bodies can listen and remember the dance of creation, each moment, each breath as things shift & change. In flesh or not …. we are open, connected & present, to it all now … and we are together.
Pure Land poem
by Allie Middleton
Oh beloved heart, you ocean of dreams!
Your many rivers and streams wreck and ream my soul open.
I see you beyond the many scenes and I want no more than just to rest with thee.
Thy mountain top shivers and thy rivers are near, flowing hot into my soul.
Yet I still rebel, revering yet still reveling in the rippling shapes you make as we wander down into our hearts, listening as they still beat, even after the last sound has struck.
Oh waters of my heart, my blood, my sustenance!
Hound me, dance with me, oh precious jewel.
Light my way … oh, how I long for thee!
What is it that thou dost not hear from our hearts even as we stream and gleam our dreams outward and onward now …
Alas, with the blood of soldiers lost, oceans dying and babies mourning for their mother’s breast, what distress of this dying time even thus courses through our very veins, our earth’s rivers and her seas?
Streaming with tears I say, “listen, listen… listen again…”
and we hear, our stars still shining
“I am near, I am near!”
Poem from the porch of Kingshead cabin
by Allie Middleton
In our own way, we have been given sway, given space for the sacred waters to flow again.
Waters to care and comfort for all the angels who are singing again,
Listening and nurturing the welcoming water path again.
We carry and bear our water, our precious hearts
As we stream along and cry the stress away.
Now go!
So we now go merrily amidst palm and pine, sand and rock, the bejeweled dew on the path leading us forward …
Journeyers, travelers on the way…
Of course we remember the signs and symbols even as it remains dark.
Fairly, if not now merrily again, we wander and wonder and sway again,
as if our home finally welcomes us in to pray…again.
… Unearthing our soul home, shapes renewed,
clay upon clay, we play and dance anew. Singing Hallelujah on the Way…

awakening MA

The crows and other friends are calling out the sun this morning.
Moon waning now, Sun appears on our horizon,
regaling Earth with many strands of fresh light
shaping out like the interweavings of a spider’s web
caressed by the morning dew.
Dark is now dis-entangling, dismantling – yes, awakening to Something Else.
Spinning us apart now, yet somehow together again,
Earth’s old chained and unseemly embrace is finally loosening,
as if releasing from a last tussle with an old lover.
Somehow gravity’s pull is disengaging, undoing itself as new roots take hold in the new soil.
With help from volcanic offerings, celestial songs, we now open
toward more silent deaths and births,
stillness welcoming the eternal cacophony of shifts and change.
Yes, harmony swirling in now from the music of spheres, we pause as Space reveals herself,
now upside down, finally upended and emptied,
we shape our way into the New Zone,
hearts aflame;
I wonder, are we re-membering tomorrow?
