You
Unto yourself
Have the most beautiful vistas
The most magical views
The highest of summits
The deepest of valleys
You're an adventure
Something to behold
A breathtaking sight
Is the rainy and thunderous day bad?
No...
All is perfection
So too for the rain and thunders of our lives
All is perfection
Keep your eyes sharp
For at any moment,
you may see
Keep silent within
For at any moment,
you may hear
It's a slow burn
understanding your traumas
the way you tick
unpacking the history
the conditions
the intense grief
that swallows you whole some days...
But the effort is worth it
The felt pain, though deep,
does not stay forever
The slog leads to the most delicious,
authentic,
secure,
confident,
freedom...
That belongs to only you
Let them go
Let them rise within
And let them subside
Don't hold them
Don't digest them
Let them pass through
Love, acceptance, fulfillment
Is not outside of you
This can be a hard truth
Because we want the people we love
To love us the way we need
We want so badly for them to heal our wounds
To say the words we need to hear
And sometimes we take desperate measures
We shout, we claw, we cry
To get them to understand
Stop all this
We have somewhere along the way
Believed others have the power to make us ok
No
We were born absolutely perfect
In need of nothing
Look within
And remember this
It doesn't matter
How long you may have been blind
Once you see...
You cannot unsee
Thank you for all the little loves of my life
Thank you for all the big loves
For the love that has come
For the love that has gone
For the love that is on its way
For the love that is all around me
In the stars, in the moon, in the dust
For the way you love me
In all the ways seen
And unseen
Be more concerned about what's going on within your being...
your heart, your spirit, the state of your mind...
than the constant change of circumstances outside of yourself.
Is there peace within?
If the answer is no, this is where you must first start.
Speak to me in ways I can hear and understand
Speak to me in the birds song
In the wind, in the rain
In the rolling waves, in the grains of sand
In the suns rays, in the moons glow
In the flitting butterfly, in the crawling ladybug
Speak to me in the strong silence
Where your voice is all I hear
The Rose
Standing in the kitchen
I see a single soft pink rose petal fall from her body
I walk over to see she is opened
Full
Waning
I feel a pang in my heart
"I want you to live forever" I plea
I draw her face close to mine
Her beautiful perfect face
She welcomes me
Whispers reassuringly,
"this is the nature of life my love..
and I love my life"
