bring me

bring me back from the heavy death of days

where nothing goes as planned

where today the same as yesterday

and tomorrow already out of hand

where the sins of our furthest fathers

have long gone buried possibility

so far beneath the ground

even god is petrified

bring me up from my knees

head so bloodied and so bowed

after long lost generations of defeat

of being cut like trees

bring me up from untold losses

of love and life and limb

and from losing her

and from losing him

where I can no longer feel anything outside this pain

where my suffering is so inescapable even dying

offers no comfort or relief

bring me to lift my chin

to remember the quiet rush

the surging and the quickening

of every cell awakening

bring me to

Awareness! Vibrancy!

Chemistry! Biology!

Electricity! Intensity!

bring me even more

than music or mathematics

in ways that can't be counted

in verse that can't be sung

speak to me in the language

of our First Mother's tongue

wherein every sense i feel

how well you lick my wounds

with your lingering lyrical Yes

herein wonder i can watch

you bring me higher still

every lie undressed

and suck from me absolutely

the fountains of all youth

inhale me even deeper

swallow me in your truth

take me in all directions

open me

thrash me

pound me

show me and expand me

bring me to almost

and then...

and then...

and then...

Bring me NOW!

ignite me in that mystic space

within one and only your embrace

where together we erupt

illuminate the day

obliterate the dark

blow the sky to smithereens

absolve anything corrupt

Bring us NOW!

to arise together beyond heaven

beyond any kingdom come

from the sun beyond the moon

from the truth above all truth

until forever and never done

Bring US!

Bring us here to tell again

to ravage now and quell

the cold dark deathly night

from beyond the end of stars

until the birth of Light
