gift of life

Lately the sun rises on a kinder day

After a night of rest

When I have given up the quest

To be my best

And settled for the gift

Instead

Of letting be

And setting free

All the mixed up parts of me

Lately there is calm and peace

As I do not seek so desperately

For relief

From all of the demons that hid

Inside the fears and feelings

I had to face

To set my wounded spirit free

For you see

It was only judging that made me ill

That turned this life into such a bitter pill

I found it difficult to swallow

And now that at last

The sun is rising

On a more hopeful tomorrow

Where I sense all of the struggle easing

I have a sense of joy arising

As I open my body, heart and soul

Fully

To

The gift of life

You long to give to me

Love cannot enter a judgemental heart. When we recognise our spiritual truth, we are another step closer to connecting to the Oneness. Focusing on and opening to another’s perspective can set us free to love.
