The Invitation

 

 

Come to me, she says,
rest in the safety of my warm embrace. 

Sit under the cool shade of my trees and breathe in deep. 

 

Allow your anxious mind to
let go of the day's troubles,
watch them flow away down the gentle stream.
 

Sit by the water's edge
and allow yourself to relax
into the language that speaks to your soul. 

 

Jeweled leaves reflect
the warm rays of sun after the rain.
Light pierces through to the darkest places.

 

Behold the beauty all around you,
let it envelop you and soothe your weary heart.

This radiance is part of you.

 

Feel the gentle breeze on your skin,
and a soft voice within reminds you
that you were made for love.
