Womb-Man

Have I lived my life?

Have I gone out and fully explored?

Have I made Love with my Lover?

Have I yelled up-top the Mountains?

Turned up morels with my toes,

Screamed like a Banshee at Death,

And curled up tight in a Nest of my own making?

Have I made myself a place to create?

Have I met my tribe?

Allies and Greatest foes?

Have I carved out a name for myself?

Played the game of life well and thrived?

Have I honored rest?

Have I given the heart space to play?

Dreams yell the untold truth only I can deny

Spirits ring bells under my bed

Trees whisper my haunts kept secret

Wisps leap from the crystals

comforting the hesitant soul

Spines fluid, rainbow liquid gold

Spirals geometry, Oceans voice

Echoes beam like a flashlight

Awaken deep knowing of all there is

To make the jump yet again off the jagged cliff

Once a comforting ledge

Now a jumping point for the Great Albatross

The Ocean vast as any mother would be

Beckons my hearts eye to see further

Dive deeper and run farther than ever before

There will be no attachment this time

Only flight, Only my heart and a beingness

A belonging, a Creation Point

A leaning into the unknowing

And as always before,

no one but the spirit to guide

Have I lived my Life?

No, not fully.

But I am about too and I swear to God

I will cut down anyone who stands in my way
