Bread of spirit
…and then she rose and spoke and a calm energy filled the space and they knew the ground she standeth on was but hallowed ground, as her words flowed, so too their ears were filled with longing, not for the sounds or rolling of tongue but for the space between, for as the stress of sound and syllable left her tongue to reach the ether so too their hearts filled with remembrance of a yesterday when whence the first remembered their own silent song of longing and fulfilment.
As the drums of man beat out its tone the blood of life flowed from their veins and trickled through the earth to join that holy moment of life and love and foreverness. Her words were but a dance of destiny evoking not the mind of man but of tomorrow and a new dream, they troubled not the intellect for they closed the door against such a fiery guest, yet they flew from the windows to reach the stars and she, yet she knew it not, formed and kneaded the bread of spirit that their spirits together echoed and bellowed a thousand worlds.
…and words were no more. ∞

The Journey
THE JOURNEY
by justme
(Read by the author)
At first you did not recognise me…..I came to wake you because you told me so.
You told me you would sleep; you told me just a breath ago.
It seems so long ago, and yet….!
The whirling whirl of everything, but stop …and then a gust passed over me,
not of wind
or air but
of spirit…
I remembered you;
I remembered why I came to you.
It was because you told me to
I shook you at first, but you did not know me.
You wanted me to go away.
Then you looked at me.
What emerged was a strange curiosity.
Then you saw yourself in me.
Serenity,
depth,
then finally – mortality
Oh to miss a thousand years, oh to weep a thousand tears
‘Have I nothing? Is what you cried
Silence prevailed
Soon
you flew high.
Then…
Crashing, tumbling torrents of fury
Smashing gouging thunders
Crater and mass obliterating gory.
Why me?’ you said, why you?” you asked
I came to wake you because you told me so, you told me you would sleep, you told me this, just a breath ago.
I am come to wake you because you told me to..
You came for me?
You promised you would come for me!
Brooding, effervescent unravelling
Bubbling, and unfolding epiphany.
Eyes that see, ears that hear
the veil has lifted, all is clear.
Tenderness touch,
warm embrace,
then finally -translucency.
Recognition of a hundred lives
joyful laugh – bursting breath
Then you looked at me
Oh my self you came for me.
I asked you to wake me up.
You remembered, you came for me.
Yes. I came because you told me to.
I woke you because you asked me to.
Thank you friend.
Now I must go.
I will drift
with the wind.
Rise in the ether
and fall with the snow
Your eyes are closing and now you will sleep
Is there a promise that I should keep?
Oh dear friend remember me
Come and wake me before my end.
Tell me that I sent you so
Let me know I sent you.
Just a breath, just a moment ago
