HEALER 25 (Sunday Sermon)

 


E A L E R

what the world needs
is a healer



watch the video clip THE FIRST TWILIGHT (below/bottom)






  




it's an assumption

that fundamentally, we're all equal - embedded in the constitution
here in Canada especially - then there's "karma" 
then there's reality - the judgements - the walls of shame 
welcome to the fear factory - centuries of criminal behaviour
in a cold con, conditionally condoned & carried on

adverse anomalies creating chaos - abort, alpha one charlie delta fox 
I'm going down - mayday - mayday - mayday
"requesting an emergency rescue evac - unknown co-ordinates 
crash and burn scenario situation - with respect
just get your ass into gear - now sir"



  I need a healer


fiery flames
little chance of recovery
vigilant voices - shadowy shape shifters
downward spiral - smoking spin - searing 
reverberation - condemnation into redemption
in this angry apparition approaching 
grounded by gravity and grit 
blunt force - a loud black thud

silence












she lies next to me - shields down - surrender 


darkened room - in port - docked - respite repair
only it's a haze - a dream - years ago with her
is this real?

in our bedroom - early on

reaching over and touching my wounded shoulder during intimacy
when time stood still - before anything mattered - this
 a genuine gesture that feels good - caring
in weeping war crimes - realizing time is tenuous
and that life is just this benevolent IV drip
 and beeping blip on my vacuous ventilator


in this moment - stillness
in her precious presence

 
"you - are a healer", a simple acknowledgement 
spoken quietly in this gift of grace and humility
empathy - compassion - deliverance - she receives the message in form
no expectation - only loving, accepting resolve - nothing matters
only what is right here - right now ... you are everything
and you are nothing

"shhh - close your eyes now - sleep dear"


that caress along my high hair line
that soft kiss on my cheek - drifting
into my slippery slumber
ah ... home 


no attachment - no shame - no pretension - no fallout - no "discussion"
no need to pretend and/or hide behind anything 
no cruel constructions  - no billowing blame - no borderlines











when she walks into a room  
my heart goes bing - bang - boom - "mommy"!
waning in my winter - heart pounding - so real OMG 
so right there - I could touch her - shivering shaking
I feel colder - wait, what's happening here?

yes, we all are conditioned to give and take according to the plan
braised on high heat from the very beginning - barbecued beef 
 deliciously sauced and served with a side of our choice 


for some it's religion - for others it's faith 
for others it's a simple good nights sleep
awakening into resolution and refreshment

  


I LOVE YOU
fading fast in my final destination
one last thought - in this
distant dissertation


women taught me how to appreciate
men taught me how to dissipate
despise, disassemble, distract
it doesn't matter who I am - or what I stand for
it's not about my conquests or my fears, regrets
accomplishments - mistakes
none of that


it's about my intention
in my willingness to let go of everything
right here - right now











most men
want more
less is more


silence


what the world needs
is a healer
