welcoming ourselves, Roosje Watson

Written during a welcoming ourselves weekend by Rose

I want to know your ocean deep emotion

your empathy

boundless and childlike

your divine

soft glowing soul white light

I want your unbridled horse passion

channelled into a course that delights you

that thunders soul felt healing

sounds rippling through the land

Life force

aimed not scattered

waking hope and compassion

inspiring action to protect

our one mother home

I want to welcome your fury

feed her fuel and ether

free her to dance and roar

until every last tongue of fiery spleen

has ripped through the brick and mortar boxes he built to cage her in

I want to weave a container big enough

to hold this sea of grief

to submerge

untethered from fear

into Its bottomless beauty

trusting

I will never let you drown

I want you to stop performing

Stop competing for the eyes of the world

I want you to be seen and felt

by the intimate circle who love you

not glanced at through

thousands of distorted lenses

too smudged to reflect your light

I want you to commit

to your truth

to follow the flutter

of your sex

when it beats and salivates

With the scent

of remembered desires

discovered on your slow trail

through the woods

I want your hopes and regrets

your bitterness and honey

your wizened battle scars

your tender green shoots

your sharp angled elbows

your soft Venus mound

I want to know you
