Transformation of our core being,
The desire to walk through
To the life beyond this,
Is the impulse to become
Expressed in actions,
Choosing words and deeds
That change materiality
The capacity to resist change,
To choose not to move,
Is the delusion claiming
To stay the same or undo
The words and deeds which have flown
Past in time and history
For we are changing
Whether becoming more
Or diminishing away from
The destiny willed before time
Began the expanding life
Yearning to thrive beyond
The momentary actions
That show the beauty of our
Spreading spirit weaving
The Body Universe
That some refuse to go
Does not signal we stop
Walking on through resistance
Manifesting the will forming
This mystery opening before us;
The words and deeds we make
Build something we do not know
Because it has not become;
It is creation never before known
And we do not resist the birth
Into the new reality beyond
This temporal world passing
