There was once a blackbird with a sadness in her heart
Who had a song hidden within tearing her apart
So one day when she had enough
She put on her brave face and got tough.
Her song went like this :

Why is the truth so hard to tell
When you know I know you oh, so well.
You see, you think you've had me fooled all along ?
I think that commends,  for a round of applause!
For your acting was quite great.
Please don't allow your ego to inflate.
Because what you did was quite  cruel.
A soul with no moral concept of the basic  golden rule.
I choked on the lies that were told.
On the hurt that you bestowed.
Upon an innocent bird, whose undying love always endured.
I thought I was broken,
for  the necessary words that were never spoken.
But, I'm no longer a victim of circumstance
for I have been given a second chance to see...
That the truth I needed to hear was  always in me.
So the beautiful blackbird was able to heal.
Finally able to know what was truly real.
She soared up high forever singing her truth of love and the power it has to forgive all lies.

This isolation has led me to find myself through meditation.
hidden beneath the ego that has held me captive  
Locked away in a cage that always left me looking at things so tragic
Needing to realize that there is beauty in the tragedies I face
That ultimately lead me to find my  state of grace
To embrace my  spirituality
Knowing that I come from spiraling galaxies
Makes everything else seem like  small trivialities
We are infinite sources of  wisdom that continue to grow
In an ocean with an amazing spontaneous flow  
Filled with breath taking waves that never endlessly wash up to shore
That create in me a state of awe and wonder wanting  to know  and see more  
To explore  the ins and outs  of the core of my soul
To let go of all  my fears and doubts
To know what life's truly all about
For it isn't the materialistic things I have  that makes me exuberantly glad.
But the love and compassion I  give
That make this life so incredibly  grand.

I  no longer have room for all the hurt and sadness that you make
For the lies  that left me feeling betrayed.  
Leading me astray from the confident girl I once was
To a sad one who only saw her flaws
You will no longer have that power to make me feel so low
Because it's time for me to take back control
For I am not the things you say or lies you create
But a goddess who is filled with so much love
All thanks to the lord up above
For always reminding of the beauty of forgiveness
To not give into the ignorance  
For forgiveness is not for those who treapass against us  
But for ourselves  to not go nuts
I am the love and light of this world
Ready to rediscover that bright eyed beautiful girl
For God has opened my eyes to see
That I must leave it all in his hands to live, let go, and just be
So I can finally learn what it truly means to be free

There's a knot in my throat
That fills me with tears that drown me not allowing me to float.
Causing me to lose hope in everything I believed to once be true .
Making  me feel like the world's biggest fool.
I've never felt this low.
Contemplating cutting my ears off like Vincent Van Gogh.
Just so I would no longer have to hear those lies .
So I could be free to be the owl who once spread her wings across that starry night sky.

You cannot see her but I still do.
For she is a memory of a once magnificent dream.
A dream were we would dance.
Dancing a dance that would leave us enchanted in a beautiful trance.
Bringing forth a revelation that gave me a glimpse of galaxies filled with pure bliss and ecstasy.
A love that was brought by the wonders of synchronicity and destiny.
That led me to a state of complete serenity.

How happy she made me, how I loved her so
but I had to set her free and ultimately let her go.
In order for me to plant the seeds that needed to be sown.
To truly learn to live and to grow.

You cannot see her, but I still do.
Always being reminded of a love that was  genuine, whole, and so pure.
Forever intertwined into my soul.
She will remain in my memories safe and secure.

You were never there when I needed you the most .
Its as if  I became invisible, just merely a ghost.
Your lies and your selfish ways showed me all the reasons i should've never stayed.
But now I see that your love was never good enough for me.
That I deserve someone who will make me feel as if we were meant to be.
I can finally open the cage  you left me in and set myself free.
Free to love again to see things through brand new eyes.
Realizing that I should never give up, but try.
I'm filled with a peace now that allows me to live and just be.
I know now that the love I longed for was never in you but, always within me.

Both light and shadow
are the dance of Love.

Love has no cause;
it is the astrolabe of God’s secrets.

Lover and Loving are inseparable
and timeless.



Although I may try to describe Love
when I experience it I am speechless.

Although I may try to write about Love
I am rendered helpless;
my pen breaks and the paper slips away
at the ineffable place
where Lover, Loving and Loved are one.



Every moment is made glorious
by the light of Love.
