Life Adjacent

Life adjacent
By Michelle Morris
23/07/2023

When people who are meant to care
Let us down and into despair
We might choose to step away
And live a life adjacent

Away from the maddening crowds
Away from humanity's cloud
Away from distrust and hurt
Away from broken hearted moments

Scattered pieces of our souls
Need time and space to become whole
Reflections and contemplation 
Truthful spiritual reconciliation 

In meditation and prayer and supplication
Silence and stillness and guidance
God and His Angels protect and help us
Through our dark nights of the soul

Into the darkness and emptiness
Embracing and healing and balancing
Until like a phoenix rising from the ashes after the fire
We are able to fill our souls with Light's power

Enlightenment and wisdom and knowledge
Can help and support our revelations
We live a life with a higher purpose
And make a difference to God's Universe

Our souls are able to shine brightly
We become the best versions of ourselves
Healed hearts and souls and minds
We live life adjacent no more
