refuge III*
kelly grace smith
Take refuge in me.
Fold your self into the seat of my soul and
let go.
Lean into me.
Fall into the familiarity of my
humanity.
See me.
I have known your shame, felt your pain, and been born
to fly again.
Know me.
I want to see you, hold you, know you, but not
to own you.
Feel me -
the humility of my heart, the transcendence
of my soul.
Trust me.
Trust the moment, the mystery, and the magnificence
of all that is.
Believe me.
Believe that you and I are one, always
and everywhere.
Take refuge in me.
I am the guide,
the God,
the master,
the maker,
and the creator.
And so
are you.
Take refuge in me as I have
in you.
*From the collection, “And so we dance.”
