For the Taking

and it is right there

beneath the surface

teeming with a hunger

fulfilled, restored

in a realization

that it has always

been

laid out and ripe

for the picking

rich and succulent

birthright

brimming with joy and life

set free

in a feast of gratitude

and surrender

it has always been laid out

before us

indelibly united in us

it is right there

waiting

waiting for us to claim it

to set free our surrender

joy and gratitude

is ripe for the picking

it has always been

right there waiting

a realization of a hunger fulfilled,

restored, united in us

right there beneath the surface

break free

and claim it

it is yours for the taking...
