Where there had once only been fearful emptiness There is now unfolding A wealth of vitality. A beauty unearthed and perfected. Brought to light As if by flicking on a switch. I've discovered The glorious healing force of the universe THE FORCE OF LOVE. I'm breaking the chains of old beliefs Fears that have kept me in bondage. I'm growing toward a more fullfilling, More enriching life. I realize now that I have been clutching my past So tightly to my chest That it has left my arms Too full to embrace the present. I've turned people Into objects of my game Rather than subjects of my heart. The curtains of my heart Are unfolding, Like the petals of a flower. Illuminating my soul. Exposing the core of my being. The walls of my heart Are crumbling around me. Leaving me open and afraid. I see your outstretched hand Reaching out to me, Trembling with kindness, Yet, I am afraid to take it. But, If you dig deep within yourself You will reappear with a key This key will open up my heart When it is feeling afraid. Here is how to care for me When I am with fear............ Move slowly, As if approaching a butterfly, Have calm, gentle eyes, stay centered from my panic. THEN................ When we reach this place of safety JUST HOLD ME. |
