Savage Divinity by Barbara Sanders

By Barbara Sanders, LCSW

Roaring

Awakening

Glowing

Leading

Sharing

Blessing

Feeling the burn

Of suffering taking place

The divine spark

Once again ignites

Through a new ritual

Letting go of control

Letting go of sorrow

And despair

Letting go of thoughts

Mind, ego, achievement

Releasing all rationality

To the winds of change

The storm causes Disaster

Clears the path

For the opening of hearts

More Love than was ever

Experienced before

Surrendering all thoughts

Of attachments and binding

Knotty, tangled relationships

Knowing

We do not own or possess

Anything at all

We are given gifts

We receive blessings

No more victimization

No more perpetration

No more blame and shame

No more heavily laden guilt

To bend our shoulders

And weigh us down

With the burdens of This world

Instead, we rejoice as we

Impale ourselves

On the spear of

Bright white light

Wiping out all stains

All beliefs of sin

And disgust

Judgment and pride

Empty at last

While never feeling

Alone again
