Marisa Gold Poetry
(Everything and Nothing)
We hear a familiar voice emerge
In this beautiful world
In this dark space, still laced with stars
We hear a familiar voice emerge
Learning step by breath, this divine climb
Landing heart to depth
Pulling strain across chest
Fear, met by the test and oh..
How our young selves still must grow
Remember, Never-end
Mother multitude, home of seed
All from and to become
Never and completely
The same
Heart
Shared
The power is yours to hold
This duty stands before you
This calling, stands before you
It walks you across
Offering weight to your strength with every step taken
Yes, a pressure shapes your story, an invitation
So.. accept
Land heart to depth
Pulling strain across chest
Fear, met by your test, Beloved innocence
you’ll be new again, so you must forget
In truth
No matter how we came to be here on this land,
We must welcome the task to learn to exist in tandem with
Our reflections
And to recall that, often distant, memory of light
That shine we all belong to
All of us
All of us.. remembered into being
This power, which is only ours to hold, embraces us back
Whether we know it or not
It's here, even if we can't feel it connecting us
Beyond belief or sight or speak
Like a bright web
Like a family tree unfolding to spread its arms wide to set us free
and we, the future
Nestled between the leaves
Come

I’ll tell you what I know
I’ll tell you what my heart understands
I’ll tell you what I can see
I’ll speak on the gifts
I’ll talk of love’s sweet pain
Of the hurt that is giving and receiving beauty, an offer fleeting
Of the broken promise
Of eternity’s river beneath and the perfect entanglement as it returns
Blink once and it is already forgotten to the surface
Blink once and the picture will always be river remembered because it was
Because it was, an anchor holds then disappears leaving imprints inside
The depths are full of imprints and traces and ghosts
Precious information to be reused like cosmic soil
The birthplace, the aching intensity, the seed
This singular everything is also nothing
It is both space and spectacle
Both empty and fulfilled
That
shine we all belong to
All of us..
All of us, remembered into being
This power, which is only ours to hold, embraces us back
Whether we know it or not
It's here, even if we can't feel it connecting us
Beyond belief or sight or speak
Like a bright web
Like a family tree unfolding to spread its arms wide to set us free
And we, the future
Nestled between the leaves
Come

Memories
All of us
Remembered, into being
Recalled gently, steadily by the first light, we
Beamed, into darkness
Ageless, to this day
To forget and remember
Same as we breathe, the meaning
Remember, Never-end
Mother multitude, home of seed
All from and to become, the essence
Never and completely
The same
Heart
Shared
This
Magnetic wisdom, our
Origin of every pulls pressure, brave
Ecstatic grief and cosmic dust
To expanded form and place and we
We, forget and remember that concoction of living
The purpose to feel
The senses, mean
A demand of conscious pulls, brave
Soil and sky break
Ecstatic grief give way and we
The future, come
All belonging to ourselves in each other
The moving mirror hosts the heartbeats dream
Earth, herself born
Pull, brave, ecstatic grief, she gave
And remembered, us
Mother Multitude, home of seed
All from and to become
Experience;
A toll paid with our lives
In softness or in sorrow
We ache to endure
To forget and remember equally, the hours
What do you sense through the marrow of your bones?
There is power to be found
There, inside, in depth, all thru, all layers
Time dwells there, from both directions
Spiraling beneath your skin
The blood of generation
The wind of memory
The first light, we
Beamed
Ageless
To forget and remember, same as we breathe
Across distances too vast to be real at all
Here, in between, is a home
Belong to beyond
The purpose?
To feel
