Readying to Rise

What comes when you rise from the middle Then step up and ride the comet What comes when you rise from the middle Then step up and ride the comet You've figured out so much up there On your own now let us step in The bottom half that moves you round the world The legs and orbit of your dream are vast You spot it then just watch it pass Psst, psst, down here We remember everything you’ve come through And we're readying to rise you There's a new modality of love to be dis-covered What are you waiting for? We’re dangled or crossed Beneath you like we're worthless While you work away We're bent or locked still Listening to tapping digits We too must uphold, so holy And what's great about them? Everything they've ever carried They've put down and left somewhere At best to maybe someday be re-found We work the largest muscle groups And come up against sit bones What makes you so tired? When we're readying to rise? Worrying and forgetting where you were headed Even with your thoughts distracted, we'll get there walking We know you and why you never See us or get to know us And on airplanes we have no space Because it is presumed we have no insights Or senses that contribute to our goals Our language is the memory of everywhere you’ve been In usefulness we preach And you may refer to us whenever you are lost, or stuck Or doubting will with its brain-based complexities We’ve been through it all with you And do our best to move you With dual reminders of your progress And how you must walk the distance ahead What you are facing now may appear to be more Of the same But we are readying to rise you To another plane of existence That comes when you rise from the middle Then step up and ride the comet That comes when you rise from the middle Then step up and ride the comet
