EYES WIDE OPEN

Branches blowing in the wind
Gentle strength seen holding on
Belief in the fibers meshed together
Sensing the combined power shift

Delving deeper within to understand
Power released and found together
Seeing with new eyes to gain perspective
Looking finally in totality by just being

Bathing in the subtle glow of dusk
Rising up to meet the darkness now
Allowing the pain to rush by & leave
Trusting in the power of eyes wide open

My heart no longer in the shadows
Opening up to the true sense of emotion
Expressing the beauty of letting go now
Letting the mystery unfold in perfection

Shedding tears of yesterday remembering
Faith in holding my own tender sweet heart
Unearthing the chasm which was left buried
Time to no longer mask that which needed light

Illuminating this dance now with beauty
Painting the ever evolving picture of my life
Letting you in letting go and letting life flow
Sacred trust beginning completely from within
