Safe Passage

“safe passage” - karro moss, JULY 2022

---

There’s a place she says

You can go where

Dreams you’ve forgotten

Are waiting to grow

Take a deep breath

And let go

Open to the mystery

Slip into the flow

There’s a taste she says

You can know only

Empty hands can hold

Silent words can show

So light the lantern

Come what may

A seeker is never

Turned astray

This is the way she says

Of wonder and fear

Only choice you have

Is what to hold dear

Dance in the rain

Or cling to the shore?

Destination never

Found by force

I have safe passage

on my way

no storm can shake

me from my course

I am eternity

A holy prophecy

remembering

I am free

What trees are these

With shivering leaves?

A familiar sweet

Scent of golden green

These roots go deep

Elderspeaking

We are of one

Family

What treasures are these

Brought in by the sea?

All the names

I long to speak

Blossom from the deep

Petals spiraling

Reaching

To be seen / [to receive]

I have safe passage

on my way

no storm can shake

me from my course

I am eternity

A holy prophecy

remembering

I am free

Be all that I cry for

Soothed by these tears

All that I sing for

Shine beyond years

All that I hope for

Already here

All that I search for

Beginning within

No need to know

Just where I am going

My steps are the stones

Of a road unfolding

Each moment fulfilling

I am healing

always returning

to the source

I have safe passage

on my way

no storm can shake

me from my course

I am eternity

A holy prophecy

remembering

I am free.
