My Prayer

My Prayer*

Ascension

is not up to just me.

             People

have to take

Their own responsibility

To make it happen

             drink

The full cup

             think

The full measure

Of their devotion - 

Leading them to make

Their way through the maze

We have made

   of everything

And then - and only then -

Will we be able

To move on -

              to sing

Together

In unison.

   That is to say

As One.

And then

Will we begin

To act

As One.

So come on in

          and play

Your part.

Don't be an old fart

       lingering

On the periphery

       thinking

You have no role to play

In this orchestra.

                    Hey -

You have a vital role 

           to play

With your heart 

             beating

in unison

As One

With Us

              meaning

You have a soul.

That makes you involved

Left unresolved

Until you dive in

Too, and join

The symphony

Of bright instruments

That God loves to hear

From Itself

The All That Is

Was

And ever Will Be

In harmony

      rhyme

And reason.

It is the season

To be jolly

And leave this vale of tears and fears behind.

        The sign

Is here.  

   It is up to us

To recognize it

For what it is:

            the sign

Of Completion.

              Time

To drink the full cup

Of Aquarius

          and go up

Up

And away

Into a new day

            dawning

For humanity

           resolving

Into a new body

For its Self -

                   only

      this time

In no time

       rather

In ceaseless Being

With Its Creator

(Which recognizes Itself

In all that we do.  The good

And the bad.  For the latter

Is from the gift of free will 

        is how to strengthen

And grow - as with rich compost -

The former.)  

Wonderful.

Marvelous.

Just the ticket -

Out of this sticky wicket - 

To eternity.

Tarry a spell

And lose your way

           momentarily

Is all.

We are there

To help catch You

As I.

            To say

Together

As One

Incredible

Family

     making Its way

Not only home

But to forever

And ever.

            Amen.**

** Which is a reference to an ancient Egyptian deity.  But never mind.  It's the intention that really matters.  To say, in this case, to end one's prayer on a fittingly reverently beseeching note.  To acknowledge your connection with The Most High of your Being.
