One moment,
A pause,
A breath.
With breath comes calm,
With calm comes stillness.
Through the looking glass,
Peace.
No longer a race,
Life is now an offering.
As serenity takes hold,
Petals of the soul,
Float like stars.
Rising up to the heavens,
On wings of hope.
The heart opens,
Feel renewed.
Divine lacquer fills the cracks,
Become
A precious vessel.
Being alone,
Is a gift.
Embers of spirit,
Come alive.
The universe sounds its call,
Dare to answer.
Run into the void,
Find the spark of life.
Light a path,
Explore.
Become a living star,
A diamond bright.
The galaxy of the heart,
Is endless,
Boundless.
Glow with Love.
Step back into the world,
Sprinkle stardust over all.
From Love all is born.
Be Love.
Hell’s shadow has grown strong,
Hate,
Anger,
Violence,
Suffering,
War.
Spirits are bleached,
Gasping for air.
The still small voice,
Seems to fade.
Where is God?
Where can comfort be found?
His kingdom is never far,
It is within.
Deep in the heart,
A garden awaits.
Wherever the head lies,
A bunker,
A shelter,
An army tent,
He stands at the door,
And knocks.
No one can flee from His presence,
Though the hateful may try.
His Love truly conquers all,
When hearts are open.
Every day,
I walk a tightrope.
Introvert,
Extrovert.
Time with people,
Time alone.
Two needs,
Battling within.
People drain me,
People energize me.
Both are strong,
Either can dominate.
I must
Choose.
Too much of either,
I am overwhelmed.
With work,
I can strike a balance.
Knowing my limits,
Honoring my needs.
If I am wise,
I choose the path of sanity,
I choose what feeds myself and others.
I dreamt I fell from a tower,
Dropping into darkness.
No panic,
No rush of air.
Calmly waiting for impact,
It doesn’t come.
In the soft sky
I sense eternity.
Am I flying?
God’s hand holds me,
Keeping me from the void below.
I am safe,
Floating,
Falling,
Into His Love.
Inside self,
Is a closed space.
Nothing,
Emptiness,
Loneliness.
A dark fortress,
Of insanity.
Outside self,
Is an open space.
Everything,
Fullness,
Community,
Love.
A joyful life
Of sanity.
Dozing off,
My hand is on the door.
My eyes flutter close,
I enter a more fluid existence.
My thoughts flow like rivers,
I receive flashes of prophecy.
In the mountainous mansion of my mind,
Certain rooms are revisited.
I walk the halls exploring,
Caverns,
Gardens,
Staircases,
Libraries,
Galaxies.
My darkest spaces,
Hold grounding truths.
In the center is Duality.
Light of Heaven,
Darkness of Self,
Balance.
I am a being of Light.
I am a being of Shadow.
I am in between.
I dance in the sunlight,
I crawl in the dark.
I sit in sharp stones with my shadow,
I float in sweet breezes with angel wings.
To become one, I must understand the other.
I am complete with the feather and the stone.
I
Am
Other.
I am Energy.
I Choose.
I Create.
I am Magic.
I
Am
Joy.
Winter of the soul,
After months of separation.
The void opens wider,
Threatening to bury me.
A candle of hope,
Flickers.
My heart seeks a golden treasure,
Closeness.
In the flame of love,
A Divine figure stands.
My anxious mind finds rest,
I let go.
Warmth floods from within,
Beauty is found.
Gratitude is found.
Joy is found.
Light shines in the darkness.
Closeness in spirit is realized,
I climb away from despair.
Sun rises on my heart,
Sparkle returns to my eyes.
To truly live,
I let Love shine through me.
