Awakening

 

Oh to be awake

Living a life fully alive in this body

No longer defended

Heart open to feel and experience

The kiss of a moonbeam

The sunray of a smile

And even the depths of the deepest sadness

That hollows you out

Preparing you for the new insight

That can only be birthed through dying

To what is begging for release

How liberating to be freed finally

From all concepts

Of right and wrong

And who did me wrong

What a miserable dance it can be

When we can only fixate on all we have lost

And not what remained

Even if that was

An empty field

Opened for new possibilities

And yet the journey to here

So filled with pain

Is for some reason perhaps necessary

Is why such seasons in hell exist

All for the cleansing fire and rain they bring

So that on a new day we can awaken to realise

The light or sunshine

Obscured in the very depths

Of everything
