Choosing the Path of Ascension

Choosing the Path of Ascension
What comes to him in the early mornings
is the force he feels within the forest,
the way the stones rise from the rushing creeks
moss covered and washed again and again,
trees that lift the love of Earth
into the daylight embrace of the Sun,
the living wholeness he knows as Gaia
trembling within him as the dreamscape settles
and he surrenders to another gravity
of the stars and suns whose voice to Earth
has been unheard within the hive
for all these years of isolation
the only path to freedom being death
yet this day with equinox precision
a door opens, a view beyond survival
where devotion to struggle can be released
and the map to another way unfolded
where we are lifted by our own volition
without leaving the precious beauty of this life,
discovering the dome of our inner earth opening
to a shower of energy and light
healing the lifetimes and all of our stories
charting a new course as seen from above
enacted below in the way we reach out to each other,
letting ourselves become altars of forgiveness,
starlight returned to the yearning of the Earth
and deciding this time to choose the path of ascension.
