I want this Life

I want this life to paint me like a canvas
to draw in the creases with a depth and shadow
only seen by my soul

I want this life to sketch the fear
each stroke diving deeper
to cosmic resurrection

I want this life to write me words that digress and rise
from grammatical righteousness to satirical graffiti allowing
contradiction to teach its tale

I want this life to dance me to rhythmic unconsciousness
until I stand naked & peeled away
to the essence of my being

I want this life to sing me the lullaby of truth
for the curriculum of this incarnation
writhing with the purposeful pleasure of human flesh

I want this life to knit me as I unravel
from the illusion of all I thought I was
until all that is left is the fabric of my infused breath

I want this life to feel my surrender to its constant practice
of learning to love through all joy, trepidation & fear
opening my womb to never-ending waves of receiving
