Songs of Healing

Burning Man

 

Bring me your woes

Your hates your

Regrets your dreams

Your memories your

Loves your confessions

Your regrets your

Loss your anger

Your weakness and

Broken soul

And in the desert

I will burn for you

 

And in cleansing fire

Join the songs

Rid of all desire

Join the harmony

Join the flames

Rise into the sky.

Enduring

 

If you should unnatural sleep until the spring,

What of dreams and starry things

And

What of courage and Robin bright,

If you should sleep all winter’s night?

Or

Perhaps, you should incessant weep instead,

What of prayers and daily bread

And

What of love and holding on,

If you should weep all winter gone?

But

Now that earth is capped hard in frosty grip,

What of Snowdrops

Who will upward thrust and dancing trip

And

What of Lambs and warm longing sun?

If this be forgot, this winter long?

Now

Be assured, all will, as always, still go on.

Stars

What tears are these

From out this perfect mist

Standing full and clear?

 

Dreams, part remembered

Or loss perhaps, unrequite

Or guilt, forever steely tight?

No!

They belong

to another night.

And these?

These are from the very

morning of creation!
