Glimpse the shimmer within shimmer within you
that snags your dreams
and digests them into poems,
stories, anecdotes, detailing your pursuits.
Glimpse the shimmer within shimmer within you
that composes melodies,
visualizes songs, and arranges cantatas
into vessels that carry your essence.
Glimpse the shimmer within shimmer within you
that turns sounds into words, words into stories,
stories into epics and epics into history
that echoes your perspective.
Glimpse the shimmer within shimmer within you
that causes thoughts to grow into patterns,
patterns into beliefs, and beliefs into panoramas
of living art that creates itself.
You are now enchanted here,
the believer of the tales you’ve spun.
Turn this weaving at an angle now
and watch the kaleidoscope rearrange.
The colors shift and change
to elaborate new stories.
Cause and effect continue unbroken
‘til the strand holding them together changes.
Allow one piece of the puzzle to emerge
and the whole puzzle is recreated.
You are a shape-shifter,
turning with the tides set in motion
by your self-created patterns
that shine upon reflection
and remain invisible in the dark,
netting the nuggets that fuel their weave.
Beauty lies in the lace of creation,
its tensile strength and endless adaptability
mesmerizing us deeper into its geometric repetition,
echoing the sound wave its Originator made.
Strum a strand for your own expansion, expression,
create a new form that propagates itself for you.
Witness the shift
of one heart humming
with Original creation,
hanging in the mystery of the Void.
You are endless patterning
recreating itself
with thoughtwave
after thoughtwave.
Channel the changes you desire
into your warp and weft
as part of the Eternal Tapestry
that lives and breathes and moves.
Continue your hum louder.
The chorus grows to support you.
You emerge with poetry
laced throughout your skin
and echoing through your pores
into your cells and out to the world,
a spinner spinning itself into glory.
