TO NO LONGER HIDE WHAT I AM

Wind. Fire. Water. Earth.

Elements change me. 

The Mountain’s name means balance 

and he has me craving nakedness. 

The more I take off, the healthier I become. 

Each day, brand new yet ancient.

Less necessary to subdue or distract. 

Clarity brings palpable synchronicity. 

I care less and less how I am perceived. 

I am not here to please.

I am here to grow. 

I know I am loved. I am love. 

I focus on who loves me. I receive.

Overflowing chalice, continuous stream.

I ask, what can I give? 

To no longer hide what I am. 

Unbroken. Soul-fulfilled. 

There is a silence in me

and a song is born from that silence.

It guides, clears, and fortifies. 

My path becomes vast. 

A strange, wonderful darkness surrounds me

and a warm, glowing, light appears. 

I follow that golden ray.

I can’t touch, but feel held safe by mystery, so I continue. 

To where I am most needed. 

To 

Where I am.

And so it is. And so shall it be.
