Aware

I have made so many mistakes, Allowed my life to be at stake, All because of guilt and shame, A cycle that no one on this earth could tame. I have ran from the only one who could save, Allowed myself to be a tormented slave, All because I had never known true love, A web that was spun consumed me like a glove. But then a precious presence entered my soul, Told me I was free and to just let go, A lovely voice within my heart, Said three beautiful words... Brand new start. I have pushed away all attempts to feel, For the pain of healing has become quite clear, But the alternative was death in my body and spirit, So once again I will allow myself not to fear it. I have rebelled all because I wanted to be rebuilt, And like a rose in mid- fall I started to wilt. No more isolation, No more complication, Simplicity... wasn’t so simple When all I knew was rough currents and invasive ripples. I have climbed many mountains when all I had to do was speak, And now I am on my way to the highest peak, For the promise of the strong deriving from what was once weak, Has finally come to pass in the humble, Pure and meek.
