Golden Sun

Let me live

Feel my breath

Love is a gift of allowing

You give yourself

Adore the essence of you that brings you life

Throw away the knife

That severs you from

Your nurturing truth

Stand firm

Both feel planted on sacred ground

Feel the riding sap moving through you

As sun shines

A bright ball of fire

In your chest

Breath is love

Is life

And you were born for this

Do not let fear steal in

Let the malevolent forces swim on by

You have cried far too many tears

For one individual life

And containing others pain

Only brings you further and further undone

Look upon them with love

Because trauma makes a lie of so many things

That once made sense to a child

Who had to duck and weave

And run and hide

Adopting masks and defences

Cutting themselves down

To acceptable size

Dooming their soul

To the terrifying power

Of horror’s lingering

Stranglehold

You are here to come alive

Dancing fearlessly through this life

Feeling the pure joy of being

And desire

Flowing through you

Free of threat

Moving

Daring

Breathing

Being

True to the guiding warmth

Of that golden Sun

You sense inside
