Poem Title:
Poem
I die to who I am not to my anger and resentment to my fear of ridicule and rejection to my hurts and misgivings. to my being vengeful and unforgiving to my self-sufficiency and isolation to my contempt of self and others. I live for I was born clothed and embellished in the life of the universe. Within me is a mystery beckoning to life. I die let go of my paralyzing thoughts - "I am not good enough." "I can't." "I am not as good as the other." I live faithful to who I am for I am more than my thoughts. I am the universe in self-communication. I am a unique creation; no need to compare. I am life's vibration a moment's expression; no need to compete. Without my fidelity to who I am, the universe shrivels. I die let go of my alienating feelings - "Hell is the other." I live with others, giving and receiving even when it hurts. Through it all, perhaps, heal one another for I am more than my feelings. I came from the Generosity of the universe -- Love that is in everything that lives. When I condemn the other to hellfire I, too, am condemned When I forgive unconditionally I, too, am forgiven. I rise in jubilation. My spirit soars for within me is a passion for life. I let life take hold of me relishing my gifts -- my person, my mind my spirit, the powers of my heart believing in the bounty of life loving others as I love myself thanking life for entrusting itself to my care. I live on in the cadence of dying and rising cherishing the constant flow of chastened strength cradled in the womb of transforming love risking death to live anew for the universe is Life. And every act of Life is Love. And every act of Love is life-giving.
