Unmet desire
hurts
And the only cure
is to not take it too seriously
and to enjoy it
Dance it and yourself around and around
until you are dizzy
and just have to laugh
And then see others doing the same thing
and you’re all sisters and brothers
lovers and friends
all in the all together
dizzy and laughing
Which is the real Celtic orgy
Being alive
and in love with aliveness, energy
and presence
in yourself
in the things you see
and the people you feel
For a few moments or a lot of moments
every day
It’s all always available
and open
wanting you inside
and ecstatic
all the time
Every moment is available
and wants you as its lover
