The New Beginning

I am very close to you

Still your heart and your mind

And listen inwardly

With your whole body

Look around and feel

The caress of the soft breeze

On your face

Watch the rush

Of the wintery wind

In leaves of the trees

This is my touch

This is my voice

I was never created

And can never be destroyed

That which is essential to the soul

Will remain

All else

Being impermanent

Will die

And fade away

Don’t hold on too tightly

Trust

Let go

I reveal my true face

Only when you

Have passed through

And endured the terror

Of the destroying fire

Come alive

Come awake

Deep within

The centre of these flames

Feel the breeze

As it blows through

In this awakening

I am awakening you

To the Soul in you

That which is essential to the soul

Must shine

Free of its past tarnish

Only this

Will remain

All else

Being impermanent

Will die and fade away

Don’t hold on too tight

To life

To grief

To joy

To pain

To sorrow

To regret

Trust the flow

Let go

Surrender

In the letting go

Is love

Is hope

Is trust

Is your new beginning
