Saviour

A fear of the next moment
And it arrives
And I have done nothing more
Than ruminate about the movie
I took myself too,
I cried several times
As the captain saved everyone
As the crew smiled heartily
When they
Barely made it.

I barely made it,
To this moment,
Ghost visits and horror speak easy
That never wavered
Till they did
And then I am here,
Drinking up this false past,
As I clothe myself with
Pastel petals
Of this beguiling future that softens as I do
And then so is the savior made great
Made perfect
By the witnesses of those who shall
Do unto others
As they do unto themselves
And that is where the fear festers
And the stories are made
About the saviors who never saved us
As we continue to believe we need saving

That is the moment of the fear,
That is the dream unrealized
This waiting for the other to save
This Soul
Whom perhaps only needs saving, because
He believes himself to.

    Somehow I’m lost for words tonight and I need my savior… but I know the army of false saviors will be first to jump at the opportunity of feeling good by being of service. Lip service they do, but I’ll have none of that. Instead I long for the silent One who looks in and through my I*’s right inside my soul space, and finds with divine precision where in the maze of life *I was lost for words.

    And, all of a sudden, I find myself under question: “was it really you the one who’s lost for words, or was it the other one?”
    “But I am the one, the other one is still my one, a perfect mirror of my mind and heart”
    .
    I’ve been lectured that the mirror theory allows for the possibility of negative time, which in turn indicates that the found precedes the lost. Now I realize that I’m starting to move fast into the speechless zone. I am…
    .
    Speechless indeed Lina.

    AT first I am reading this and I am thinking Star Trek, Capt,. Kirk and then it turns and it is every story women (and men) are told. The finest questions I was ever asked were: What happens after “and they lived happily ever after”? So tell me, what’s the next day like…

  • linaji replied

    Good God I am going to meet you Mary Ann.. you are in my heart of hearts.. bless you and this amazing mind. xoxo

    I’m sure that we all feel we need to be saved at some point….but realistically who can really save us but ourselves…..although in loving we can sometimes save eachother. xxxx

    Is there anyone to be saved?
    What is the name of this soul?
    Where was the needing beguin..
    where did it end?
    Tell me the name of of the One..
    that in fear..
    is looking for a soothing pass..
    from the passion of the tears,
    and the death that it makes you feel dark.
    Rosa (so it is there… not for me, if anyone would be condemened… I would be with this one…until the Maya veil will shatter the lies that the fearing hearts have created…. Love Lina)

    Fabulous writing Lina … particularly the truth of the work being:

    That is the moment of the fear,
    That is the dream unrealized
    This waiting for the other to save
    This Soul
    Whom perhaps only needs saving, because
    He believes himself to

    Such an important message in this, linaji! It is so easy to fall into the mindset of needing someone else to ‘save’ us, of confusing connection with dependency. Thank you for expressing it so wonderfully well :)
