POEM: COME WHERE THE CRAZY PEOPLE ARE!

It is a new day! Come over here with me,

where the crazy people are!

Dance with us! Dance! Dance!

Enough of this gloomy responsibility!

Enough of being someone else,

someone you don't even recognize

in the mirror.

Time to step into your own skin

The skin God gave you before

you were born…

The skin with tiger stripes on it,

blue feathers, gold spangles, and diamonds

that reflect the Universe 

It is a new day, and school is out

if you want it to be.

I left school long ago

to wander in the bright wilderness

of the joyful and the insane,

the ones who call forth the Mysteries

and kiss our Sister Moon as she flies.

It is a new day, and no one is looking!

No one cares!  You can at last

leave that ancient baggage behind.

Hide it over there, just behind that planet.

Someone who needs baggage

will pick it up, but you will be free,

free to fly into the vast landscape

of your soul's eternal remembering.

We are all celestial birds

at home only in the heavens

of our wildest dreams. Fly!

It is a new day, and we  hear it

that strange, sweet music,

hymns and psalms spiraling up

from secret caverns in the  Heart of God 

We can hear it!

We can hear it!

It is a new day, and we the crazy people

are waiting for you.

We send you this jug of ancestral wine,

for your journey into the LIght,

and this loaf of fresh baked bread

with rare olive oil and crushed garlic.

It is a new, new day, and we the crazy people

are here to guide you home,

dancing in the renewing ashes

of our old worn out lives.

We are waving to you,

laughing and sending you our love.

 Can you see us now?

Just over here, over here!

We are saving a place for you, your place,

the place  that has had your name on it

since before time.
