Tulip

When this body suit I am wearing,
can no longer contain the vibrance of my spirit,
I will travel throughout the world,
for I have been granted clearance,
take my body suit,
and set it aflame,
for I will never ever take that same shape again,
release my ashes over the grandest sea,
and as difficult as it may seem,
please don’t cry for me,
because I am still part of the process,
still circling around the center of things,
allow my ashes to flow from the ocean,
down to the river,
and finally,
a stream,
let that stream dry up,
while my ashes settle into the soil and mesh with the Earth,
and allow Mother Nature to perform Her beautiful work,
my spirit will find those ashes at that exact location,
and breath life into those ashes,
hence starting my reincarnation,
out of the dryness of the dirt,
and the cracking of the land,
I’ll emerge as a tulip,
to live once again….......

    Where is the water that gave shape to those ashes?
    Can’t we see that ashes are containing all the Light of the Spirit.?
    Here in my country, some years ago, in the small villages,when there was not washer machines, the women took their laundry to the river.(I have seen it when I was a little child) and then….they covered and rubbed them against the ash… or with the ashes…because that made the white shine with a dazzling atmosphere. You see…. I just wonder… imagination is great..and we follow it. Your words are a metaphor of a wish, a yearning and even a beleiving. Little by little we are leaving cells everywhere. Dramatically sometimes… and we see changes of appereance, volumen and of sensibility. And yet…we wish to think… about the end of our ego-shape… the spirituality of this moment…
    Hope you will get to feel it…
    Hope I will get to feel it too..
    May be with another different sensible organ…
    called…
    ?
