The Transformation

Upheaval building up to a cataclysmic outcome
Burnt offerings of the soul you sold to get approval
Origins of self hatred that you choose to hide
Was it learned behavior?
Did you expect him to be your savior?

Lean on yourself
Love yourself
There is still time for salvation
Self preservation
Emancipation into a higher realm of consciousness

A pure hope of better days ahead
Forget the dread
Leave it where it belongs
It’s no longer yours to bear
You’ve paid the price
Although sacrificial lambs and collateral damage exist
healing has begun to take place
It was inevitable because everything is as it should be
A greater dream has emerged
One in which you could not fathom

It was a part of you all along
Being prepared every intricate detail
Every incident experienced
There are no coincidences
Your inner being cried out
A strong bold invisible force
intertwined in the spirit answered
A blessing
A gift
Beautifully designed
Yet, you’re fearful of it’s magnificence --it’s not familiar

Could it really be what you refused to accept
Grab it! Please hold tight
Be courageous don’t deny yourself
Mutual minds meet
There it is
No hang-ups
No games
Just time and space
You were shown a different place
Cool, calm
A quiet strength that could not be faked

Mystery enveloped in passion
Comic relief gives birth to satisfaction
A marvelous smile that speaks volumes
A deep voice that reverberates over the hills
of my confusion
It falls upon the tip of my ear
A gentle kiss of life yields in it a multitude of possibilities

The gown flows in the wind of his mind
The crown is constructed
of his meaningful words of encouragement honesty and acceptance
Bafflement at the beauty of it all gives way to clarity
The inevitable question comes to mind
Will it last?

Only time and space
Space and time
Quality not quantity determines the outcome
The teacher becomes a student
the student becomes a catalyst to deliverance
Keep your heart open
Believe in the power of transformation
Through it all dreams are possible and attainable
