she who took us there * 8/15/14

She formed high towers for people to lookout

so that pleasantries could fly eye to eye, close by.

She built a finely woven weightless canopy

of sighs so that dreams could be recycled

to a different nest of mind each night.

She cultivated the venting of wicked thoughts

so that all could pass more gently into the light.

She took hostile feelings on field trips

so that each could meet its true source of pain.

She allowed the bludgeoning

of innocent bystanders, so that separatism

had no bearing on the collective richness of life.

She made believers bob for their god

in a gravy of the unseen

so that actions revealed

a different life of spiritual expectations.

She forced the undetected

to perform acts of self-branding

so that all things were evident and eventually linked.

She shaped the earth into a facial expression

so that all could wake up to the same tranquil face.

She confiscated the last breath of all the dying into one place so that true human surrender could be uncovered and richly shared.

She harvested small tight blossoms

from the collective unconscious

so that desperate lives

would have a fragrance for recollection.

She fondled all the places on people

that were untouched

so that the roots of communication

were forever changed.

She made violence

into an understandable set of simple gestures

so that response was clearly visually available to all.

She divided greed into a dissection of its parts

so that the act of its assembly was also

the act of its reflective self-revelation.

She made speech a last act of final resort

so that all other means of connectedness

were formally served first and foremost.

And lastly, she took back purpose

from each and every mind

and then in one shocking fell swoop,

she gather all of us from everywhere

and from the beyond, deep beyond the beyond,

she then took us there . . .
