You've known
Haven't you?
What you need
What you need to do
For a long time now
You already
Know the answer.
Don't you?
But all the fears in your mind
In your heart
Tell you otherwise
All the doubts
Cloud the "YES"
A "YES" that used to be so clear
Yet you've known all this time
Haven't you?
You tried to hide the truth
From your view
And vision
Wishing to run from it?
Except you know
You cannot escape it
Because it lives inside of you.
All the running
All the attempted hiding
Has only left you tired
Clouded
Confused
Foggy
Disoriented,
Seemingly lost...
Except you're not really lost after all
Are you?
So stop
Close your eyes
And listen
Listen deeply
Breathe
Can you hear the YES?
With each beat of your heart
Can you hear the YES?
The YES to life
The YES to love
The YES to joy
The YES to you?
She's smiling
Listen closely
She's calling to you
Softly
Softer than a whisper
But she's calling you
Home
To your heart
To your joy
To the love within.
There is so much light in you.
There is no more need to suffer
No more need to punish yourself
No more need to feed the fears
Cast fear off your back
Can you feel it hanging onto you?
Sucking away all your joy?
You no longer need to carry it
Set it free
You will be free
Then open your eyes
Gather all the courage
You have earned
On this journey of life
Call on your wisdom
Call on your bravery
Call on the strength
You earned in healing others
By choosing
By loving others
Can you now choose
A life for yourself?
Healing yourself?
Free yourself of the
Heaviness you have been carrying?
And can you take a step into the unknown...
Into what appears to be darkness
Breathe
Know you are loved
Discover
That even the darkness is illuminated
With each step
Each smile
In each daring breath you take
There is light there with you
The light goes with you
Everywhere
Wherever you go
Even into the darkness
Lighting your path
Never leaving you...
Because it burns within you
Inside of you
It shines from your eyes
Lighting your way
Always!
Trust it
Trust your soul
The healer within
No need to worry about being alone
Walk in joy
Free from fear
Free from pain and worry
It's not possible to be lonely
When you contain such light.
