She gets red
you can be who you long to be, you can free
your wild heart
in a dream cherries hang from a cedar tree
this long night moon
who knew how red she could get
this heat moon, then the coolness of
waiting, wanting, wisdom flowing like
a river right through her she sits
subdued, and still she looks intensely
for the wolf to appear
around the mountain, while she listens
whispering your name into the sky
she can't help but wonder
when you will come again. she has always
wanted to know everything anyway.
pure as your body at dawn she wakes
so close but still nowhere near
she feels the spirit woven so clear
her heart just aches and aches and then
opens, embraced by you. her bruised
knees are a familiar story, but with you
her life starts to change for the better
you can be who you long to be, you can free
your wild heart
the sound of these birds call her back to rest,
they sing to her as she sleeps stories of
feelings and how uncertainty can be more
exciting than having a life planned
she wakes up happy even though
she can sense the landscape
of a life here that is almost over.
feeling everything coming she starts to burn
inside and then the song returns
consistent like the beauty of the wind
do not be held or bound by this Love, it is too
pure, too good for you to escape.
don't try so hard, just give and take from me
like a mother in the desert on a wool blanket
she is soft still and steady, ready to share
her wisdom. without words she holds
your hands in hers and divinely loves
you to unknown depths of your
soul, she sings to you, you spin together
and dance, naked under the stars-
helping each other heal while expanding–
a capacity for Love to include everything
there is and was and can ever be
you can be who you long to be, you can free
your wild heart
she wakes up again, stands up quickly
breathing in this fresh air, dedicated to
living a life only of service to her lord
helps her remember who she is, a soul
untethered shows up and just does
her work. her connections, ecstatic,
deep cut, profound love abounds.
knowing this and nothing at all
she sacrifices it all, but her heart
remains,
in the fire of her lord's embrace.
you can be who you long to be, you can free
your wild heart.
