Things Are About To Get Interesting
By Chelan Harkin
Things are about to get interesting.
The more you open
to the light of the Wild Sun
the more motivated She’ll be
to pour Her golden drink upon you.
You thought your life was crazy now?
Just wait until you let love in!
You think She’ll bring a sip of holy wine
to your lips
but She’ll pop the cork right off
of this world
and intoxicate all existence!
Surround yourself with people
who have already been brave enough
to yank their souls
from the straight jackets
of their buds
and let the blossom
of their freak flags fly--
you will need this encouragement.
Because things are about to get interesting.
What used to be your reverent postures
will madly start trying
to pull God
into your body.
All your grounded words
will turn into the swooping birds
of unpredictable poetry
and all of your polite ways
will become true
maniacs for love.
Are you sure you’re ready
to turn your respectable life
into a wild parade?
Perhaps consider this
before you pray like that
again.
From Let Us Dance: The Stumble and
Whirl With the Beloved
