The Color of Your Ocean Will Change
It is possible that just a drop of dye from
a vial the Friend holds could change the color
of an ocean.
I know I have talked about this in different
poems, this basic concept,
but will now say it from a slightly different
angle in case that first arrow I shot completely
missed.
The presence of a Perfect One reaches a seed that
is planted in you,
and from that divine warmth, God will lose His
shyness, thaw as it were, and no matter what now,
Now matter what you do , the sacred will begin to
grow inside. The color of your ocean will change.
The drop of holy water, the needed dye, has
touched your forehead,
the air did that to you at birth, as did the first
hands that touched you,
and the soft walls - so many times- of your
Mother's womb you lay against.
