Re - Membering
After years of picking up puzzle pieces - one by one,
Searching, sifting - incomplete . . . I learned
Those still missing pieces were not - in fact - dead and gone,
Only temporarily trampled, cursed, buried, burned.
After all those therapies, those magickal insights, that quiet time apart,
Retracing a thousand footsteps, a million moments: microscopically.
After re-membering and resuscitating - this woman's soul / this child's heart,
Re-examining, releasing, re-visioning: ceremonially.
After weeping, keening , recognizing what's true and real.
After surviving the long dark night … new life finally begins.
Awakening now - I see, l smile, I feel
Free from horror, blame, error, sin …
This journey made bearable by Her company: Muse, Mentor, Great Mother Soul;
Imagine my surprise … to look up now and see: Herself is My Self - whole.
