Awaken to the light

Awaken to the light

That dwells deep within life

Seek it even if when it hides

Deep within the dark feelings

That so often seem to obscure

Your way forward

Feel the freeing of your burdens that comes

As you surrender to the tide

While allowing everything to unravel

Don’t try to hold on

But let yourself

Come undone

Once in a while

For we were not meant to be

Bound up so tight

Fighting all the time

The full onslaught of life

Denying ourselves the truth

And healing visitation of pain

Which reminds us

How far we have strayed

From our heart’s delight

Hidden deep within

The tears and mists and shadows

And were we not

Born to blaze

A trail of light across the skies

Of our particular Universe

To be the twinkling star

That God envisioned

From afar

When first she chose

To create the light

That gave birth to the spirit of life

Inside of us
