Surrender to Blue

At first there is a curved rim of grey,

And no matter how much light I see inside the ring,

there is  

that edge that stays

and I wonder

to myself

how I will ever get rid of this stubborn shadow?

I continue breathing and breathing, just focusing on love on love, 

on blue on blue,

and in some moment it occurs to me 

that I can let the dark ring sit there, and just BE, I can stare at it, and

stare at it and stare and smile, and

smile,

it’s right there, I swear I can still see it

even as I focus on love on love on love on love 

on golden light

I watch and feel that light that heat crawl wider and wider around my heart see it holding more and more

LOVE. Let it flow boldly now,

if you let it, love swells and swells and swells inside and all around. 

My chest glows in every direction my body grows lighter and lighter

and warmer and warmer until I feel it in my shoulders and hips

Lips knees elbows eyes teeth toes and belly.

One more morning, the ring disappears. I make the transformation to blue

by surrendering.
