I don’t normally share my poetry but there is something about writing that is cathartic to me, something that soothes my soul and something that enables me to let go just a little bit more. So enjoy this passage written for anyone awakening, I hope you enjoy it and get from it what you need to soothe your soul just as writing it did to mine:

Awakening

The day comes and you get it

In the fear, in the sadness, in the pain

There comes a time when you feel it

in the madness, in the insanity, in the breaking

Enough, enough, enough

No more struggling, no more crying, no more hiding

No more dimming your light

In the struggle to hold on it suddenly hits you that…..

In the darkest realms of our minds, there is always hope
In the hardest times of our life, there are always lessons
In the falling apart of our carefully curated beings, there are always breakthroughs

You let go of the need to control and just allow
You let go of the need to be perfect and embrace the messiness
You let go of the need to have it all figured out and feel the flow

Feel the flow, ride the wave, let it out

Just like a seed breaking through the earth, life cracks you wide open
Just like a caterpillar emerging from a cocoon, life cracks you wide open
Just like a baby being born, life cracks you wide open

Let go of the need to be ego driven, and live in wonder
Let go of the need to compare, and live with empathy
Let go of the need to slander, and live with quietness

Feel the flow, ride the wave, let it out

Let go of the reigns
Lift the veils

Stop the ego

Silence the chatter

Awaken to the rebirth
