Reborn

It's not a cliche after all
In your very weakest moments
Doubts and fears that threaten to end you
The times when the very substance
Of who you thought you were
Shaken and stripped away
Even love seems to have flown
Sitting on the floor
Curled in a ball 
Fear, sorrow and emptiness 
Vying for control  

Stop fighting with it
Allow the fear, and face the void
Witness yourself
Broken as you are
Embracing it, the wave of it 
It breaks over you
Fleetingly, you wonder
Will it completely 
Wash you away

And then
Something unexpected

Rocking, sobbing
An aching tenderness begins 
Tendrils, like new spring growth
Nourishing the life within
Love, here
Exactly as things are, exactly as YOU are 
All the words, the striving fall away
Precious, sacred vulnerability
Like a newborn baby
Just you, breathing 
Gossamer threads of connection
With every thing

Standing, more naked than ever in your life
Raw with emotion
Drawing in sacred breath 
Closing your eyes, feeling your own heart
Oh, sweet delicious BEING

A new power within 
You are reborn 
Strength found in weakness 
No rules, no more confused thoughts
Gone the tangled striving 
Focusing on the love 
The light that shines within 

Standing now, looking at the sky
Feeling the wind on your face
Colors, so vivid 
Life, seen through the heart 

Such power 
In simply being 
Heart rhythm 
Shining, breathing and flowing
The Universe smiles
