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."
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?
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.
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.
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.
When
your heart is
filled
with beauty
and
your soul is
filled
with love,
then
anxiety will
melt
away
and
fear and hate
dissolve.
