Seizures: “Let Go”

It’s something bigger than myself,
my body
exploding.
Telling me it’s time
to “let go.”
A message from God, the Divine,
imploring my body,
my mind,
the secrets within—
“Let go.”
Open yourself to
its message
and grow.
Hear Him say,
“It will not last,
it will be okay.”
Then let your body
dance, convulse
to the silent sounds,
the calling of the ground,
as He presses your
head against
the soft earth.
It’s not a curse
or a choice
He’s given you this life,
rejoice!
He sends magic through your nerves
as you feel it through every curve.
“Let go.”
Feel it seep through the
ends of your fingertips, magic
from His lips
His voice saying,
“Let go,”
As you toss from side to side
do not fear your
joyous ride
let Him in
let it Begin
For once it’s done,
you have begun.
Let go and move
for your body to
explore
the inner workings
of your mind
when time is still,
gentle and kind.
For you do not see yourself as I,
Chose to dance
facing the sky.
Here’s your chance,
See His Eye
Until the next dance,
He waves, goodbye.
