Succulent Flower Medicine

by CCat - Pisces - Not entered

The plant grows up, a ladder to the top,
Anxious to open its soul to the air,
Opening only to the moment -
The eternal moment's pull
Drawing forth the strength and beauty. 

One by one the steps of the ladder draw
The messenger in with the scent of Ever Presence
Surmounting the necessary trials of creation
Making the profound obeisance of the soul
To the dim star that burns within. 

The light within, ever receding, pulling
Towards the possessions of the Pure Soul,
Possessed by the All, the especial property
Of the whole, only when united with
The sacred peace which nothing can disturb. 

Steadily as you watch and worship
You will know that you have found the way
When the budding bloom opens to nature's yield
In the deep silence following the storm,
Testing individuality's growth experience. 

The voice of the Succulant Flower speaks
A message without form or substance
Only felt after enduring the storm's fury,
Living on in the lasting strength
Of the desolving individuality. 

Reason for writing:

    It was necessary for healing at the time.
