The Substantial Flow

The Substantial Flow
Jason T. Heriford
8.16.9

The fluidity
Of this supernatural
Living water
Moves through me
Like a wave of certainty.
A soul-spring power:
Rich with love,
Clear,
Enchantingly merciful…
Electrically charging…
A jolt to my dead heart.

This moving invisible substance
Takes hold like a solitary flame
To the dry forest of
All my trees of knowledge,
Consuming –
All the useless fruit
I’ve gorged on
Pretending I am a god –
In fire.
Only the Tree of Life
Remains standing,
Invincible and eternal.
The Fire and this Tree
Are the
Same substance.

This unseen substance,
This unstoppable force,
Clings to every molecule of my being;
Pounds its timeless rhythm in my heart;
And I surrender every thought
To it’s liberating lead.

Wholly consumed, I no longer consume.
Totally overtaken, I take nothing for myself.

Perfectly freed from
A prison of my own construction
Built out of the lumber
From the forest of lies,
Now my fruit
Is the produce
Of the perfect seed,
And this mightiest wind
Will blow
And this supernatural material
Will flow
Through the forests I lovingly explore….

May these elements take hold
And grow.
In every forest alight with
This Fiery Wind
This Fluidic Solid of Ineffable Glory.
