Courage

Courage: I am what I am
and that is a 
 soul
emerging through physical forms
and reminding me of the
 whole...
My desires are not my job,
relationship or figure,
but the divine resonance of a light essence
 bigger.
Bigger than I had seen,
my omnipresence.
Bigger than a dream
I thought was in the distance.
All that I am is
 Now 
and in this moment I am
brave-courage as I
 allow.
I allow this power
to move forth from within
because I am 
what I have
always 
been.
I meet my inner mind to complete the desire
of a still strong voice 
and actions of the 
 higher.
I roar with my Lion's throat
releasing doubts that made me mute.
Along the path to my soul 
 resolute.
To the den of this lover,
there will be sidesteps that tempt me to
 uncover.
I will not journey from side to side.
I will remain in this present stride.
Walking forth with valor and vigor I arise,
 I arise.
