Noble Gas

 

Ode to a Noble Gas

Oh Argon,

beautiful nobel gas,

a perfect spinning soloist

complete in your Self,

shining your God-given inner light,

you gracefully take the center stage

to show the world how beautiful

 Self-realization  can be.

Not needing to borrow or take

from the others on stage,

perfect as you are

graciously spinning 

on solid point shoes

while we, the wobbling dancers behind you

form imperfect partnerships

clinging to each other so desperately for balance,

attracting, repulsing

pushing and pulling

in our awkward choreography.

Unstable, unawakened electrons 

from the outer shells

stolen in greed to compensate for "not being enough";

shed and given away to compensate for being "too much," 

create a disturbance that pulls us together 

in our wobbling futile attempts to be like you.

Compassionate but undisturbed

by the stumbling movements of

the corps de ballet behind you,

 you extend your outer shell

like the beautiful wings of a swan,

fanning the sweat from our brows

while you remain intimately connected 

to a peaceful, loving, untainted core...

within your ideal triple- shelled exterior.

You spin so beautifully, so perfectly

 center stage without concern for 

loss or gain...

attraction or repulsion,

knowing who you are

and from where you came; 

knowing you are whole, complete,

full of a light energy that brightens the world.

You do not need a partner...

You will not lower your prima donna frequency

by coupling with those of us

 still crying out for

more or less in order to be complete,

but you will when the music's tempo rises 

and the spinning reaches a Dervish peak, 

join with someone  just like you

who spins and radiates at your vibration

creating an exiquisite grand pas de deux

for us to witness, learn from, grow from...

before returning again to the center of the stage 

...alone.

 

Oh beautiful gas of nobility

show us how to be like you...

detached but full,

unsupported but well balanced,

alone but knowing you are never alone, 

in this world but not of it,

loving the dance  for what it is,

giving selflessly of yourself through each performance

and needing nothing in return.

Radiate your perfect completeness on to us,

so we can all learn to dance like you.

I am back! I just needed a power cord.  I barely reacted when the computer crashed and I anticipated that I may have lost most of my writing...I find I handle these things so much better than I used to...but I must admit I jumped for joy when the new charger powered up my computer. Yeah!

While away I listened and I once again  fell in love with the teachings of Bruce Lipton.  I read Biology of Belief long ago and it really was a game changer.  I have also been recently reminded, through some inner reflection, how core beliefs have been dominating my life and have been once again looking to change some limiting core beliefs within myself. So I googled him and voila!

He was talking about gases on the periodic table in one of the presentations I listened to. ( I cannot cite the actual source because I intended just to listen)  When he mentioned noble gases, I knew a poem was going to come of it. I held onto it until my computer came back and poof...there it is.  Might not make a lick of sense to anyone else lol...but it does to me. 

I will explain more later.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day to all the Celts and non-celts out there wearing the green!

All is well.
