Keep Receiving

Lie still and keep receiving. ~ Debbie Moot

As long as the modem works, the signal comes in
and when computers call on it, information flows.
The system asks to connect, or at least agrees
since the power’s out there, constantly offered,
just ask. Sometimes, though, a password is needed,
making a trustworthy connection, private, no interlopers.
Ask and you’ll receive it. Other places it’s free, just come,
stay, draw power.

We’ve got a modem built into us from the start
and we belong to the network whether we know or not.
No password, no encryption, no exclusion.
But most of the time we need to ask
for we’re not puppets, we are in control
until we yield authority and find more power
than we could ever believe. The power is there,
ours for receiving. Just listen. Just lie back.
Receive. And keep receiving.
