Awaken, My Soul

Awaken, my soul, to the rhythm of love, Let the breeze kiss you with the song it plays, Hearken to its sighs of susurration, Let the flower of kindness bloom afresh, Shaken when you are, hold fast to firm faith, Let the music of hope enliven you, Darken not your thoughts with negative gloom, Let passion for goodness rule inside you, Broken trust, revive with forgiving mind, Let the whispers of the wind arouse you, Stricken with affection, be Nature's friend, Let the sun shine on you with rays of grace, Unspoken words cannot hurt you or heal, Let the feeling of peace wash over you, Quicken, my soul, to the sound of zephyr, Let it caress and cleanse you from within.

"Let passion for goodness rule inside you." What a wonderful admonition Jo in this psalm to your soul! "Let the music of hope enliven you" and release all those lovely endorphins! This is so gentle and so lovely! Best wishes for the contest! Sending you blessings of awakening!
