Bodypsalm for Solitude
Posted in BODYPSALMS on November 26th, 2012 by CelesteBurst 2 – Behind Closed Door Series Artwork by Dobee Snowber
Sip the sweetness
of your own solitude
a communion with yourself
in the season given to you
a mist sings over your limbs
softening your joints
releasing fluid between your bones
here is the oil to tenderize
demands and responsibilities
what some may perceieve
as loneliness is the invitation
for a rare union –
the fragrance of silence
bringing space in the spine
undergirding each turning
in the fall of your life
revealing heart’s yearning.
Be embraced
through a l o n e n e s s
the door to the inside
and secret passage
to the Beloved
and entrance to the home
of being loved
& being love.
Retreat
in the nest
of your inner habitat
and find your deep nature
greeting you.
