WORKING MY WAY TO FREEDOM AND BLISS On This Journey Of Love A hot bath is waiting in the big Blue tub to embrace this luminous body And become my temple where I have Come to meet with my sweet Lord. This morning is still and tingling With nearly unlimited possibilities Which are all revealed within when I lay down in the clear steaming water And begin to climb Prayer Mountain. This aging bodily home for this spirit Needs this soothing heat and liquid love, Just as this spirit is seeking for the way To rise up from being torn and tangled, Stuck and limited by the material plane. I know I still have far to go On this journey of Love Across so many lifetimes And yet, I also know that I will never give up or give in— But will keep on climbing through The threatening dark and storm Until I stand in those high places Where my Beloved is ever waiting And calling, calling me home again.
