Awaken. Heal. Inspire.
In her struggle
She fights
Gasps for air
As she feels herself
Being pulled down
To where she does not know
But her fear is real
And what she can’t see
Is that in the depths
Is her salvation
And only from the bottom
Can she rise

For this feeling grows
The feeling that I am a galaxy
Embodied by the emptiness
Of a thousand dying stars
And the wholeness of one perfect life
The fulfillment of being alive
And awake to all others
While still residing at the center
Of my own celestial space
I am a Sanctuary

Though the trees have started budding,
Their green shoots peeking into a brightening world,
And the birds share their coupling refrains,
Some see it, but don’t feel it,
Reaching out a hand
Yet, like a mirage, once noticed,
It is gone
This budding, growing, singing
Unattainable,
Available only from a distance,
Save for those who truly live
And make their way
Through each day
Not disconnected

How does she know
When she’s had enough
When the old lies
No longer mend her soul
When a new way of being
Calls to her
Sweetly
Longingly
Over morning coffee
And evening contemplation
With a call so hypnotic
She can’t resist
It permeates her soul
And she knows it’s enough

For all who feel the sorrow
For all who carry the gravity
Of a situation they can’t control
For all who feel useless inside
For all who feel scared outside
Yet go on anyway
For all who feel joy in the quiet moments
Despite the burning around them
For all who don’t see a way forward
I envision for us the blocks being carried away
I envision for us the streams running free
Carrying away our collective tears
I envision for us the waves of grief washing over
Leaving us battered and spurting and healed
I envision us holding each other’s hands
In sweet surrender

The ringing in in my ears
Getting louder
The voices of my fears
No longer crowding
Out my truth
When I reach out my hand in darkness
I find light
And the strength to make it
Through the night
Flames receding
My heart heeding
Its call
