alignment
By Lee Stickles

Stream of consciousness through the stones
center of power a ritual
portal to death portal to birth
soul from above, soul from below
masculine stones feminine circle
grounding sun the moon of emotion

layers of earth expose
the earth circular shift
layers of time
masculine the sun the stone
of the earth the grounding force
feminine the moon the circle
the emotions of energy

center is of power
lines connect the stream of consciousness
times moves the energies collect
celebration of the moon
souls collected moving
to the sky the women exposed
the flower from center

cycle of blood
the blood is the water
open the portal door
transformation into death
a conscious soul

the alignment, the blood
the stream of consciousness

ground pushed downward spiraling exposing
the layer of time,
the birth, the ritual dance
the giving of water
fear of death, fear of missing the light
the ceremony of protection
the guiding to the light
the center of sacred ground
the stone to collect, to ground
paths of light align
aspects are formed
the life that opens the portal door

There is no winner or loser
never fight yourself peace within
for fighting yourself is worse than an enemy

the blood flows through the earth
the stream flow of consciousness
the twelve spirits protect the mountainside
it’s not just here it’s everywhere
clear bright lights that shoot to the sky
the 12 signs the spirits of the plane

blood of the river the stream of life
the energy medicine the alignment of life
we are alone separation is an illusion
to believe to know
all of the same stone

Intuition of rain falling
of deep meditation of death
the elements the balance of forces
earth, wind, water, and air
the earth the body
the water the blood
the spirit the fire
the earth the grounding
the air, the wind, the breath
balance reintegration
the blood, realignment
connection to force
meaningful integration
balance of all four
the chakras of light
in deep meditation

The sun is energy
it is life it is fire
energy grounded by the rock
transforming within the wild

afraid to go blind
the energy of the sun
the suns connection to consciousness
the dome the light of the full moon
a quiet place a ritual
the light of the moon that takes the soul
a pendulum across the sky
become still catches the light

years ago falling into the energy of the earth wanting
to hang on afraid to go
years later allowed through the door
hidden in the ocean
where I couldn’t go before
floating on the surface everything
is clear everything is right
moving through the layers of the earth
light followed me down to fill the void

Sometimes only in darkness you can see the light
change is the eternal floating bubble
into the fetal position from death
only to be born again

Immerse yourself in the goddess of the sea
except your rage engage it
for it is your rage turned to calm
immerse yourself be yourself
and you will be one

sun collective energy receptive night dark
I’m sleeping, I’m dreaming, I’m transcending
its quiet the noise is gone
an easier transition
death into birth, birth into death
living and dying as the phases of the moon

stones store the energy
the sun supplies the moon receives
ring of fire circles of wind
into the earth again and again

sun stands still energy life birth
womb winter death
we are all feminine we are all masculine
we are all alive we are all death
sun and birth, sun energy life, sun fire death
birth and death, no clear distinction
up and down into the light from the darkness

journey through life journey through death
stages of life is stages of death
the trinity the three in one
stones ground align to sun

look at connection
look at alignment, between each one
from outside to inside above and below
from water to hills to the stone
the stream of consciousness runs through each one

the hills gather and release power
mountains are life, the realignment
the blood, stream of life
equinox imbetween a
center a balance
stages between life and death
gates to each passage

the sun is traveling around the earth
below the horizon below the earth
moving through the darkness is it light
the life the death
the blood, the alignment
the grounding in the earth of this world
the moving into the light in either world
a relationship of reciprocity
one grounds, one moves to the light

let the silence happen
guide me to the light let the space
be free let the space be void
walking through darkness
sublime only the light
only the void only the night

open receptive cleansing water
is of the moon blood is of the water
sun and life, moon is receptive
sun is of the night
the silence the break from the external
the alignment, the blood

control the dead
the dead is separated from the living
one life one care
church of spirit death of spirit
the separation of living
death remains in the ground
together, fear separates

all one knows, at once innocence
power of knowledge
fear predicates defense
defense leads to walls walls lead
to separation, separation of church
spirit the death of life
separation is an illusion
the sun become unseen
forever a mystery

bring the alignment into the night
the blood has shifted into the light
the light above that shines in the hills of the night

up with the dawn seasons of change
birth and renewal aligned with the light of change
in from the darkness out to
the light, peace and serenity
seasons of light

the energy of light
the stream of consciousness
aligning with the flow of change
season to season, dusk to dawn
the fire the energy

the water the moon
tunnel of light into the night
oh the darkness, oh the light
the blood the alignment
the stream of consciousness
into the spirit out from the water
let me catch the light
realignment into the stream of consciousness
the stages of life, the stages of death
the gift of water
the stream of consciousness

swirling and swirling ever so light
the portal of death opens to the light
what is the darkness, what is the light?
what is the death, what is the life?
forever connected from the night

the balance the reintegration
the life the death
no separation
into the night from the light
into the light from the night

the stream of consciousness
I’m grounded to one the
pull of the light to the earth
one consciousness

afraid of failing
no more fear
afraid of death
no more tears
balance and harmony in the light
death of my attachment to the life

they gave me new blood
they wrapped me in cloth
into the fetal position
into the alignment
into the night
into the death
release attachment
from death to birth
traps of darkness
into the light
the flow of water the stream of life

losing my fears, away from the night
unwrap the cloth
a ring of light at the head
was I alive was I dead
accepting the shadow as part of the night
the passing of our souls into the light
