2 Days with Daughter
“All babies are born saying God’s name
All born saying God’s name
All babies are flown from the universe
From there, they’re lifted
by the hands of angels . . .”
-Sinead O’Connor
her eyes
teach me
the duty
of the precursor
the piercing clarity
of truth
the responsibility
of knowing enough
to set the precedent
of balance
how wonderful
being kept in check
for uprightness
learning the joy
of dancing
to the harmony
of lineage
reflecting the image
of ancestors
as she shares
the lessons
that can only
be given back
by the young
from the Ankh
to the cross
at an ever
increasing cost
evolving and maturing beings
are forever discovering
anything destroyed
is never truly lost
celebrate every rising
to a new day
celebrate all life
that is brought forth
love is a survival-ship –
a star vessel
sacred and eternal
miraculous and special
ever praise
that which manifests
within emptiness
ever see
the holiness
in our connectedness
“Mortals have not yet come into ownership of their own nature.”
- Martin Heidegger
