The Finding

It has arrived -
the entire message, an aggregate
of energy, dream, passion, belief, design, surety,
power, authority, wisdom, love, joy, unfolding Purpose.

It is Destiny, this whole, completed Me
gathered to a chamber of the Heart,
with strong, pulsing insistence
that pounds at the gates:

"Open this door
and I will come to you!"

By some great, interior riverflood flowing,
I rise above the banks,
fill the channels of veins,
roil thru cells,
and color the clear membrane
of flesh:
call it Blue, dazzling,

see it surge, like Spring,
to engulf, integrate,
proclaim that I AM HERE,
in this world -
the god/man, son, daughter;
I am Father to Myself,
Mother to Earth, rooted to loam,

become magic again
for the first time and the last,
a Being of two worlds, incarnate Light,
Sea Turtle, Stone, Tree, and Wing,
creator of possibilities.

What I say I am I AM
because I have embodied the Hidden One,
freed the Truth Knower,
allowed the Ancient Child to breathe
his wide, beatific heaven

and looked into that face,
to read
the pure, glistening droplet
of a single word
and a smile -
a patient, eternity of smiles:

Yes, I am Him
as I have always been.
