Inipi Poem

Stones that speak to my silence

Glow with a magic from within

Their medicine seeping deeply

Penetrating skin and bones

Until a mysterious spirit fire

Alights in the center of my heart

Chasing away shadows of fear and doubt

Releasing yesterday and tomorrow

 Until I am once again Here

Home with my breath and love

Present to the Infinite Mystery engulfing

My awareness and everything that I know

And all that I have forgotten

I am humbled by this overwhelming sense of gratitude

For a love of all things mysterious and invisible
