I have to push deep...--By Allison Grayhurst--Canada

I have to push deep,

pray deeply, as the ground
ripples and opens wide.
This last year’s consciousness will be pulled from my mind
as a searing light radiates through, knowing me,
showing me the road released.
Glory will come and free me of this bile,
changed at last - like a larvae into a ladybug,
like a tadpole into a tiny toad - nothing can turn me back.
I am listening. I have built myself a new main floor.
I am ready to plunge naked into this pool,
to know myself at the moment of creation.
My throat will be dry of speaking,
but I will not stop speaking -
                                            It is all God.
