the fear of love
i say these words as i shackle myself
“there is nothing to fear”
and BOOM
there she is
FEAR smacking me in the face
while LOVE simultaneously tugs me gently under her wing
I AM HERE she says
this is right
we are here for this.
words comfort, the pen, the page
familiar lessons in strength and expression
leaning into the scroll i know
the scroll of the pages where my heart reigns free
bearing its naked face to the salt-wind
off the rugged sea
locks of whiplashed hair
flying furiously ‘round her form
FLY she calls to me
BE ONE with the SKY, the SEA
let the FIRE inside blaze with abandon
smoke conditioning away into the ether
feel the EARTH carry your weight when you dare not carry it yourself
lean into the depths of the water
the stillness the silence
the belly of it all
the womb of the world
let Her beat your pulse and give you kind council
let His spark rest easy
and trust the form
allow the Love to pull you forward
and realize destiny
blaze with abandon
and face what surfaces with steady gaze
the fire brings the Light
if only you will honor her
you are called here because of your strength, your resolve
to bring back the Truth
and let Love light the Way.
Know that fear transforms in her wake.
Know thyself. Know thy purpose.
Trust thyself. Trust thy purpose.
Love thyself. Love thy purpose.
