Why Are We Afraid?
Why are we afraid?
Why does that which is in our minds eye frighten us so
That shimmering possibility
That expanded sense of self
That living openly
That Living freely
Why does it frighten us so?
Why do we expend so much energy keeping the nightmare alive?
To keep that suffering going
To keep that story alive
Is it because we do not believe?
Is it because we lack faith?
Have we forgotten our innate greatness?
That created in Gods image we are capable of so much more
That to live in quiet servitude is not our lot
That to release this fear is to release the world
From the bondage of separation
From what holds us back
Relax
Take a breath
Breathe
Really breathe
And…
Fall apart
Let the story go
Cry
Scream
Regret
Feel it
Really feel it
Collapse as the story leaves
As that mass of energy leaves
Collapse
Sleep
Sleep like you will never wake
Feel the tiredness of having held onto a lie
For so long
For so many years
Tired carrying this burden
Sleep
Lose the sense of self
Lose you
STOP…
Something stirs
Like the dawning of a new day
I rise
I open my eyes
I stretch
I yawn
I am not me
At least not as I was
A rebirth?
Something differs in me
I am not me
As the day dawns
A new possibility stirs in me
I want to say so much more
I want to do so much more
To make a difference
To be
Now I can
Now I can
The ghosts of the past are gone
I have so much to say
The open road beckons
Will you travel with me friend?
Will you hear my stories?
My musings
My thoughts
My heart laid bare
My truth finally revealed
