It’s been a while since I shared one of John Roedel‘s amazing poems.
Ramesha read this one today and was deeply touched. He thought I might want to put it in tonight’s blog, and he was right.
on my last day
here on Earth
let me be like I
was on my very
first day
let me be
ready for my
great voyage
between worlds
let me be
ready to ride the cosmic
river of the vast unknown
on my last day
here on Earth
let me be like I
was on my very first
let me be
ready to see what
all the fuss is on
the other side of
the womb that I’ve been
hearing so much about
let me be
ready to be bathed in
a light that I could have
never have imagined
let me be
ready to be held in
the arms by my lovely
creator and to feel safer
than I ever have before
on my last day
here on Earth
let me be like I
was on my very first
let me be
ready to see the smiling faces
of all those who have been
eagerly waiting to meet me
let me be
ready to be swaddled up
in the warmest cotton
blanket of fresh starts
on my last day
here on Earth
let me be like
I was on my very first
covered in the
miracle of creation
no wonder newborn
babies cry
no wonder 45-year old
men cry
it’s all such an adventure
it’s all such a journey
it’s all such a circle
it’s all such a flowing river
it’s all such an endless passage
it’s all such a mystery
and it goes on and on and on
and on and on
it all goes on
and we go on and on and on
and on and on
we all go on
oh, divine light
oh, sacred spirit
oh, God
please let me
go on and on and on
and on and on
oh, I can’t wait to see
what comes next
