early in the morning

i needed to feel

the truth of my soul

and what was real

i opened my eyes

to the light of the sun

my heart filled with hope

and the reality of One

i saw within me

the beauty so clear

of a life lived in love

instead of in fear

i have lived in the dark

for far too long

it’s time for a miracle

and to discover my song

hear the song in my heart

feel the joy in my soul

every day is exquisite

if lived without any goals

but simply to embrace

all i can be

to remember the truth

of the life within me

to allow my petals

to unfurl in the light

to release my fragrance

and feel my own might

for as i reveal

without any haste

the truth of my soul

which has its own pace

i see the brilliance

of what i can be

the truth of who i am

is a memory in me

as flowers emerge

from the cocoons of their seeds

so too can i

if i follow my needs

the sun is my heart

my tears are the rain

which nourish my growth

and transform all pain

the earth is my past

and everything i love

the fertile ground i am on

and must rise above

to bloom into beauty

that’s all i can be

to breathe in the splendor

and set my soul free.
