a flower that only opens her petals for the sun will know little of a world without sunshine the rainy days which help her to grow would always remain a mystery

Flower
If I view the world with sadness, the weight I carry prevents me from flight If I view the world with cynicism, my opinions and judgements form the bars of my cage If I view the world with anger or hatred, I know that fear has become my shadow If I view myself with unconditional love, if I can allow myself such forgiveness? As my eyes become my heart, all that I carry is unburdened, the bars of my cage dissolve and I fly free without shadow

Birdcage
We never left the garden of Eden We simply lost our ability to see it By not being the you that tries to live life but instead having the faith to allow life to live through you We may return there

Return to the garden
Imagine all around you are angels lost as you once were not even knowing they are angels at all Rise up and become that angel you have found within yourself be a light in their darkness so that they may feel the comfort you had once so desperately yearned for

Broken Angels made whole
Loving yourself is not about telling yourself how great you are, its a knowing of that greatness its about having some love for yourself when you are not so great It's the gentle kindness The understanding The forgiveness That which you gladly offer to your best friend Just be that reliable friend To yourself Because everyone needs a friend like that even you x

To love oneself
The flames of hell do not burn me for their own pleasure They burn to reveal the truth of me Behind my minds lies Behind my defences These flames do not burn me, they cleanse me Their pain is my shame They blister my guilt I have run from these flames too long I have hidden from them in my own shadows Now I surrender To their burn To atone for the truth my hell reveals To be worthy of myself . I welcome this hell I welcome my flames

The truth of Hell's flames
I used to follow my mind Until I discovered it had no clue Where to find it Or what to do, if it did My heart holds this riddle I take his hand Our travels are now within Within me He knows where to find it He knows where to search What I must do Our path is inward I follow blindly Slowly at first with a firm grip But as my faith quickens So does my pace I begin to loosen my grip My walk becomes a run The run a leap The leap a fall I let go I’m falling Falling into me Helplessly falling Endlessly falling Disappearing now Into love I find and am found

I find and am found
I sometimes talk to others with the same tone I talk to myself With the same criticality, the same distain Sometimes I don’t Sometimes I’m forgiving, I’m tender Sometimes I’m compassionate and kind I must remember this To keep it in mind For the next time Myself and I Speak again

Some times
When all is lost, When surrender is the only choice A man may choose to search, or not, for the truth of god within him But what is a man to do When it is God that comes searching, holding the truth of him Not held with blame but as something he must learn That for to forgive himself, is something he must earn When all is not lost When surrender is the last of your choices Search for me then Surrender into my loving arms then So I may show you Your courage Your love And the beauty I see in you
