A Meditation on Letting Go
I now allow the true essence of who I am to shine forth into world.
I release myself from all things that no longer serve me.
As I surrender these wounds into the light of spirit, I find stillness and closure in the process of change.
I am at perfect ease with my life path and with the ebb and flow of this ever-evolving journey.
Thank you, spirit for giving me the clarity to see the truth before me.
Thank you, spirit for giving me the courage to accept and process the lessons I must learn.
Thank you, spirit for giving me the strength and the understanding to move forward with compassion for myself and for others.
Spirit is now working through me, and activating my body to receive the peace and contentment that my soul truly desires.
I am now empowered and free, to live and speak the truth of my soul.
Mercy (A Poem)
When the fresh memories of a life,
traces the thin outline of your fading body into the piercing night sky,
It leaves a subtle mark upon the wrinkled face of the ancient stars,
and then it is gone.
Each life, each line, is absorbed into the rich black ocean of nothingness,
to be assimilated and released into the expansive womb of eternity.
We cut small but painful wounds within the tattered book of this red Earth,
a planet so drenched with the howling stench of blood and pain,
that its fragile pages crumble like forgotten tears within our cold and trembling hands.
Only a few stained pages remain,
clinging to the fragile branches of life, in the grips of an unwavering storm.
They wriggle and moan in agony,
and I wonder what shall become of them.
These old words have lost their meaning for life,
gasping and struggling to breathe as they reflect upon the soul of their storyteller.
I can no longer comfort them, and I have surrendered the lullaby.
A long and shameful story has been left for my blind children to conclude.
The gentle veil is clearing before me,
and I must endure their struggle with watchful eyes and a heavy heart,
as they carelessly scrawl upon the brittle pages of time.
I feel every cut and every wound etched upon them, and they have no mercy.
I scream out into the bleeding body of darkness for forgiveness.
I place this prayer upon my heart,
and desperately plead for them to stop.
Let me go
Let me go
Let me go, I cry.
But they will not.
