I, Me and Other
Poetry by Gill Schwartz

VISION OF OUR TWIN SOULS

I see two High Beings within Heaven's gates.
Yacob, God-ordained priest of Melchizadek, and
Maraya, handmaiden to the Goddess'.
Long have they know each other, eons in the time of men.
Eternities in God's time.
They have danced through countless incarnate forms together.
And tracked each other when they danced with others.

Now they have been called again to conspire,
As many kindred beings have,
Because Time itself is to take a turning.
And as beings evolved close to the Presence,
They will assume their roles as minions and cocreators
With gladness, though in Time's twisting,
They know it will involve great suffering.

"How can we, my Beloved's beloved, assume a role and guise
That will best facilitate and empower us to carry out
Majesty's behest?" they ask one another.
In timelessness they ponder, availed at all Love and Wisdom.
At last, together, they perceive the forms they must take
To best serve and manifest the one ion their own destinies.

"We will become antipodes. We will place ourselves
In oppositeness. One will take birth at midwinter,
The other in midsummer born. One will be of man
with a woman's soul, the other, a woman with a man's.
One will know God in Darkness, the other, in the Light.
Thus between us, my soul's love, we can touch upon
All the Is and thus can share of what each of us has
To form, between us, a Whole.

"The risk, of course, is that, though well we know
In this sublime pre-birth state, how to balance,
How to find peace in the Flow,
Trapped in matter, we may give way to inertia. We may fall
From equipoise, and so be enmeshed in our differences.
Let us always pray for aid in this offering to the One.

Then the Voice is heard, echoing through time, space and destiny.
"I Am the I Am receive your offering, my dears,
With tender regard. I will be with you, that I affirm.
But know, the outcome lies with you alone.
By your design, you may encompass all, like a holy chalice,
Or you may forget and fail and all that you might hold between you
Becomes worthless, another loss engulfed in the Sea of Things."

"May love and mutual honoring be your guide and safekeeping."
