You Are Safe Now

YOU ARE SAFE NOW You are safe now, my beloved. No one can touch a single hair On your body. You will never again hear the taunts Of mockery from those who thought They knew you but didn't. Never again hear words used As weapons to strike you down Where they think your weakness lies. Never again be caught Unawares, unprotected Where your cries for help remain Unheard by anyone. Never again be beaten Into blood, sweat and tears Until you lose the will to live. You are safe now, my beloved. No one can touch a single hair On your body. You rise as a majestic angel through The clouds of despair to a place Where there is an unshakable rest For tired limbs. You don't have to run any more. You are home. Choosing the heights of freedom, You find effortless peace Lies there as well. You didn't realize You could fly, Defying all sense of gravity. Rainbow wings, spread out, full bloomed, You feel a strange wellspring Of complete joy emanate through Every aching sinew and muscle. Wave upon wave in increasing power Bring you further into the heart Of pure love, Outpouring, overflowing, Like volcanic lava, With the sweetest of honey For you. Suddenly all that has been before Is forgotten like wind-blown chaff; You savour the beautiful now - The essential moment When you discover An opening light into The limitless bliss of eternity.
