Be Still

This magnificent journey I am being led on takes me down many new roads, one of which has been writing.

I sit with pen in hand and let the spirits lead me where they will. Afterwards as I read, I am surprised at the beauty of the words that have flowed from my hand ....

All is chaos
Everything swirls around me
Like a maelstrom
That threatens to pull me down
Into it's depths where I will be lost

My soul in agony cries for release
From its' physical constraints
"Let me take the lead", it cries
"And if you follow
I will bring you home"

"I see my destination
I hear the spirits calling to me
If you will let me answer
I will show you the way"

I must leave the chaos behind
Pull myself from this maelstrom
Which threatens my very existence
The physical dis-ease which plagues my every waking moment
Cries to be released from this body

But then I sense a stillness and peace
Somewhere deep within my soul
A deep thirst cries to be satisfied
I reach out to grasp that which cannot be confined

The size is beyond my comprehension
No borders, no boundaries
Real but unreal
I must possess this feeling

Now, everything else drops away
My soul is suddenly released
The chrysalis that once held this butterfly
Has broken open ~ I am released
I have won my freedom ~ I can fly

To a place of peace, to a place of love
To a place of complete contentment
Were they always there?
In front of me, but unseen by these eyes

I have arrived
I am love and peace
I am complete contentment
I am everything that was, is and will be
I have learned ~ to be still
