One time in Santa Fe
a man from India
told me he'd been
only travelling through
when the saint came to him

Came in a dream
Francis for whose holy faith
the city was named
and told him to stay

A different dream
had taught him
his ayurvedic calling
after his mother disappeared

She'd chosen to leave
the home life to follow
the path of a wandering
seeker of truth

She announced it
and was gone
never sw her again
but when his father took sick
she showed up in a dream
pointed out a plant
in the backyard garden
gave detailed instructions
for its use

After that meeting
in Santa Fe
the same day
I dreamt of two star spirits
who said they'd come to show me
the journey of the soul
after death.

They took me on a flight
through the planetary spheres
out to the farthest limits
of our solar system
there were things the soul must learn
before the final leap
into the fearful distances
beyond the sun's reach

The planets each had
their differing natures
their colors, correspondences
vibrational frequencies
from Mercury and Venus
past Saturn and Neptune
each planet served as nursery
for fledgling human souls

As the dream was ending
the two spirits taking leave
they chanted a verse
that I'd long since forgotten
but now it's come back to me
a sort of rhyming mantra
meant to be repeated
until sound and meaning
blend and become one

The secret's in the stones
and you know it in your bones
how do you find what's in your bones?
by dancing!
(repeat 3x or as needed)
