*Autumn Poem for Soul and Psyche*

Autumn Poem for Soul and Psyche

Prologue

Like the tree that loses its leaves

Left exposed

Its branches naked and shy

We too must release

Shed layers

Vulnerability is inevitable

Release like Mother Earth

Let the leaves fall ~ bathe in the west winds ~ cleanse your body mind, your soul, your psyche

Our light grows stronger and stronger the more we let go of heavy burdens.

Fear, anger, self doubt. Let’s harmonize with Mother Nature’s autumn flow, and release ever so effortlessly, resistance free.

-----------------------------------

I.

Shed layers

Shed skin

Shed tears of sorrows past

Shed leaves of irritation

And shells of separation

Yes do it wise one!  It’s time.

In harmony with Mother Nature

Drop old gains and glory

Release your growth

To feed your present story

Don’t hold so tight

Take courage

Lose the grip

Surrender!

You’ve done well

Harvested this cycle’s gifts and blessings

Now it’s time to give thanks and let go!

One two three, release!

Light or heavy

Allow it all be swept away

Into the vortex of time and space

It has served its purpose

It is time to say goodbye

Release it to God

To Source

Bid aDieu

Have heart sweet one  

------------------

II.

Become bare again ~ Lighten your load

Unveil your true self in the process

Allow the growing darkness to comfort you

As the past trickles down your cheek

To support and to hold you, to cover you

As you slowly undress

Those armors must be heavy beautiful one

For years and years

You’ve clad yourself in heavy steel

For protection

I know

And those quills you’ve grown

Through the steel

They can’t defend you either

I’m so sorry

But it is the truth!

You, a beautiful child of Love Universal

You must feel your feelings

O those heavy burdens you carry!

Layers upon layers of pain and grief

Upon armors and armors of hesitant pride

Importance

Stature

Judgment

Self-righteousness

Self-doubt

Self-pity

They have only kept you separated

From your true self

From that spectacular wonder

Of sensing Oneness

Within

Sensing God

Within

As You

Within every single cell

Now let it all go!

All those pains of the past

All those burdens and fake protection

You don’t have to be afraid anymore

I will help you

The  wounds will heal

I promise

From my heart to yours

Feel the miraculous relief

As they drop from your shoulders

The heavy armors

As they hit the floor

And the feeling of emergence sweeps all your senses

You gasp for air

You fill your lungs with the breath of God

The Breath of Grace

The Breath of Love

From underneath all that steel   

Your luminous self has appeared

Radiant, free and blissful

Marvel in the freedom sweet one

Enjoy the lightness of being

Embrace your divinity

I’m still here

I’m with you

All is good

All is well

Enlightenment is yours
