Poem - 03 - The Eternal Dancer

Today let's change the rules by which we've played.  

Release the past and all is once more ours to claim.  

There has only ever been now, yet when we own the past it shrouds the nows in the cloak of illusions spell. Tantalising, yet these are not the dreams we've once held.  

I invite you to realise that there is only the eternal now. You could claim it so? So claim it! Or swim in the sea of your held past and woe.  

The only way to forgive is to release the past, there was only ever this fluid now, ever changing and it is all that will last.  

I have this vision of the dancer in purifying flame, playing and moving as it knows always 'now' is the eternal game. Untouched by the past as it burns it all away. Radiant and always with love in its heart as it creates its playful lifelong art.  

The dancer is the freer, the illusionary past the deceiver.  

What is pure will remain. What is not, will burn in flame. As we torch our past to sunder, the ashes enrich the love we've known.  

This flame was once a spark hidden within the heart. With passion and love we fan our inner fire.  

Excitement and joy is your guiding force, dance with it and let it lead you to your desired source.  

Trust the path! For you are a dancer and your life's expression your creative art.  

Yet it all starts with that spark which will become a purifying fire within your heart.  

Then you too are the dancer inflame, playing and moving as you remember... Always 'now' is the eternal game.
