This feeling stirs deep within
I now begin to see you in a different light
The sun is now rising
The day chases away the night

There is no more suffering
Time to ease away the pain
For I realize so many are worse off
What makes me think I have darker rain?

I can't promise
That I'll never cry again
Afterall that makes us human
I know now though I can fight-I really can

Is this what they mean
When they speak of an awakening
When you still feel so much deep inside
Long after you've stopped shaking

Dark moon be kind
Let the sunshine warm my face
I promise I'll be grateful
I yearn to be more like her-full of such grace

Two steps forward, then I fall one back
That is okay though
I never expected things to be easy
The darkness though now isn't so black

There you are
Floating, just barely out of reach
I think I'm beginning to understand now
If I'm patient-I can hear you teach

The red embers of the fire
That use to burn so hot inside
They are cooling off now-giving away
To something more-from this awaking I can not hide

You shared your awakening so eloquently.

I love your smiling face in your new photo. It is as if you are right here spreading your beautiful Light!

I also think that your signature line is wonderful!

Sending you lots of love and Light,
