I wrote this as a spoken word piece with a twist of poetry. I hope this inspires you in your life and keeps your light on wherever you go and whomever your with. I wish this for you.
I am the bringer of the light
From dusk til dawn I shine
If I falter I am pulled up by those who know the word of hope
Those who know may not have always known
They too were pulled up in their moments of darkness
Sometimes we can only experience the light after our darkest hours
But once experienced and moved through fully we can never look back
For that energy is complete
Not knowing why or how but often it's just an awareness of truth in that single solitary second where honesty lives -- and mostly in the depths of places where they hide away only to come out in that perfect moment, in that perfect time
The truth is always there
It lies in your heart
But it takes bravery and a seeking to understand and only you can do that for you
Only you can choose for you
Only you will know when that time is right
Once you seek, the teacher will appear to take your hand and guide you to the other side
But only you decide you are ready
The journey can be long and hard but it will be well worth it no matter how long it takes
This is the meaning of following your heart
Following the deeper presence that exists within you
Those whispers you can hear
The repetitive happenings that occur
These are the clues to a new beginning and a new way of being in the world
Yes it can be frightening but the terrain will only give more of that which you are willing to attain
What we persist exists
What we focus on expands
Look around you and be very clear as to the information you are receiving from the world
Receiving
It may be time to adjust your sails and get on another course
A higher ground
You can do this with another perspective and another way of looking at it
You will know in your heart the best action to take
Follow the path of expansion
That is divine right action
Expansion meaning what feels good
What feels joyous
What feels happy
What brings you the Light
Anything else does not deserve to be in your field of awareness
If it shows up then that is the clue to adjust
Even if you are making peace with your past
Know the difference
Discernment is the key to a happy existence
You can make peace with the past while simultaneously being in peace and joy in the present moment
It is possible
Do that and the flow will continue down the stream
Bringer of the Light
That is who you are
Be that and you will be the beacon for others
That is why we are here
And so it is.
