Here you are welcome

Here you are welcome
here no answers are required
(Oh? mustn't I translate my
inheritance into words for I
have much to speak of?)
only that you might bring to
consciousness what inside
already you know..yea and have
known throughout

no more questions
no more foisting enigmas
on a world divinely simple
as you yourself are divinely simple

only the courage to speak forthright
to live in accordance with our true
and deep yea saying impulses
to love myself
(I speak not of vanity
and every healthy self affirming heart
knows the difference)
is required to nourish the seed
at the center of me

herein is beauty:
simplicity!
the scholar philosopher theologian
ask for elucidation and would vex
the world to make dissertation of itself
hears silence and waxes dumb or has
pangs of conscience losing faith

I will chant for you the song of the
world heard beneath the silence
and the chatter of hasty fits

I sing... impulse
I sing... this moment
I sing... my breath my blood
I sing... the world and myself in it
grateful for others that we might
benefit our mutual purpose
for I am not your end and you
are not mine
rather that I might be with you to
the end and you with me to the end

lift me up brother sister
you the listener of this chant
lift me up
be my help and I shall be yours
so near to the matter are we
in recognition of each the others
personhood

with tears
with belated conviction in
the possibilities of love and mutual
happiness
be now and forever more that
which comes most natural
say yea to yourself
show me
show the world your beautiful self
