What Not To Carry


This Sabbath morning I
breathe back to you the blame
you heaped upon me.
Then I breathe back
into my heart the blame
I heaped upon you.
When we blame, we only
give away our power.
Now is the time for us
to possess nothing
but our own lives,
to take back our power
by blaming no one,
not even ourselves.
Forgiveness only happens
in the present moment.
This is how we create
a new earth.
I will not carry
your wounds for you.
You will carry your own
until they pour starlight
into my eyes and
heal the blindness.
You will not carry
my wounds for me.
I will carry my own
until they pour moonlight
into your eyes and
heal the blindness.
Jesus will not carry
our wounds for us.
We will carry
our own wounds
until they sing one flood of fire
and the Lord of the Dance
has eight billion bodies.
