Poetry - Spirit

Hello loves.

Welcome to my heart.

This is my reading of a piece I wrote called Spirit, an ode to who we really are at all times. You do not need to do or be anything to BE spirit or spiritual, you are THAT in all you do.

I write poetry to make sense of how I feel, or what I experience, as I make my way through this life.

What my poetry means to me may be very different from what it means to you. Such is the beauty of art.

I hope it touches you, in the way you need to be touched, in this very moment.

From my heart to yours.

Please do not tell me how to be spiritual.

I am a spiritual being.

I am spirit.

I am that.

I do not have to sit in a cave and remove myself from worldly pleasures to be that.

I am spirit when I dance.

I am spirit when I sing.

I am spirit when I hug trees and smell flowers.

I am spirit when I howl at the moon.

I am spirit when I float in the sea.

I am spirit when I talk to the stars.

I am spirit when I make love with myself,

With others,

And with the world.

I am spirit when I eat.

I am spirit when I laugh,

And when I cry,

And when I scream.

I am spirit when I create,

And when I destroy.

I am spirit when I look into your eyes,

And I hold you close.

I am spirit when you touch me,

And I touch you.

I am spirit in all that I do.

Please do not tell me how to be spirit.

Do not encourage me to dissociate from my body.

My body is the vehicle I have been gifted to come and experience my sacredness,

My divinity,

The divinity of everyone and everything that surrounds me.

I am spirit.

I am that.

Please do not tell me how to be spiritual.
