It's Okay

 

It’s okay to breathe deep,

it’s okay to let go,

it’s okay to step out

though the path is unknown.

It’s okay to get lost,

it’s okay to not know,

for, one day, you'll see

through trusting, you've grown.

 

It’s okay to trip and fall,

it’s okay to laugh and smile,

through embracing it all,

the path will be shown.

 

What is True

 Some days
I see you.

I see your beauty
and what is true.

 Some days, I look 
and what I see

is anxiety's stories
distracting me,

and my feelings
and fears cloud what is real.

 Yet truth is not found
in what I feel.

Light enters in
through parts that are broken,

and darkness is held
with love that's unspoken.

Beauty, distorted,
though ugly it seems,

can show what needs healing
with golden seams.

Some days, I see it,
love's magic spell,

holding us, whispering:
"All will be well."

 

 

 

For the Voiceless

To hold sacred 
that which holds life,

to speak words for the voiceless, 
to paint pictures with syntaxes,

great ribbons that shape meaning
out of floating stars of truth.

 

Perhaps WE are the true voiceless, 
a race of humans who have forgotten 

the speech of our own native tongue,
wandering within echo chambers

of self-inflicted fear and destruction
where all wisdom has been lost.

 

But children's laughter 
awakens us from this spell

and the memory of water 
carries freedom for our souls.

 

I will speak truth
where her voice has been silenced.

I will share beauty
where our eyes have gone blind.

I will dance the rhythm of the Earth 
and sing the hymn of the sea.

 

Will you dance with me
and let our feet remember 
the drumbeat of the Earth?

Will you sing with me 
and let our voice carry
the song of healing and rebirth?

 

I Will Live

 In this life
I will learn to
feel it all.

 I will rise,
I will stumble,
and I will fall.

 I will find 
the beauty
through the pain.

I will feel
the warm sun
after the rain.

I will grow
and expand,
I will learn how to fly.

In this life
I will live
before I die. 

What If...

 

The path that you walk
is a red carpet 
rolled out for royalty,

you really are 
safe, loved, and free
to just be...

Life doesn't expect
you to suffer,
toil or strive,

you're allowed
to simply stop,
and enjoy being alive... 

'The wound is where
the light enters'
turns out to be true,

and in the end,
it's okay
to just be you.

 

Together

 

 

The sun sets and rises
over us all.

Together, we rise,
together, we fall.

All have a shadow.
All reflect light.

Together, we hold on
through the dark night.

Filled with Beauty

 

 

When your heart is
filled with beauty

 

and your soul is 
filled with love,

 

 then anxiety will
melt away

 

and fear and hate
dissolve.
