There is a window
In your soul
Like the window
In your home
You cannot see it
But you will know it
When you feel yourself
Begin to glow

Your soul is in your heart
It radiates
It’s in your hair
And every part
Of you that bleeds
In every part of you
That dreams

When you are angry
When you are sad
When you cannot even
Think to begin to stand
When you have fallen
And it’s useless to get up
Open up the window
In your soul
Like the window
In your home

Turn the latch
Lift it up
Push it out
Let the panes
Open you up
With love

Feel the rush
As you let go
Feel the power
Of your soul
Your secret key
Your special tool
It’s always there
Do not be fooled
You can almost picture it
Perhaps just like a window
A skylight where you can sit
Believe in it

This is a place that you can go
A place for you nobody knows
And this window
It has wings
It helps you fly away
From things
When you accept things
As they are
Your soul becomes
This Shining Star
The Star
You’ve always been

Don’t try to be something
You’re not
Attempt to be the thing you are
When you find it
Hold on tight
Attempt to actually Be The Star

It doesn’t matter what you’ve done
For this has shaped who you’ve become

You are a present of great worth
You’ve been God’s child
Since your birth
God does not make mistakes
God does not throw things away

From the moment you were conceived
This is when the window
Of your soul
Grew into you
This part of you inside
This place that you can go
A place for you
That no one knows
Just how to get to
Without you
And this window
It has wings
It helps you fly away
From things
When you accept things
As they are
Your soul becomes
The Shining Star
You’ve always been

And in the end
This is the cord
That links you to
ALL of creation
Through and through
To know this place
Is to be guided
Into the wealth of
ALL existence
To be with God
To be In the arms
Of your Divine Mother
Forever

Your spirit always knew
Even when earth’s distractions taught you how to
Forget the truth, to be something else
To be something you were never born to do

Do not try to be something
You are not
Just be the special thing that you are
Attempt to actually Be The Star

It doesn’t matter what you’ve done
For all of this has shaped
The beautiful spirit
That you’ve become

When you look inside yourself
And you find the thing that makes you sing
You’ve found your soul
You’ve found your window
To God and to your truth

And yes this window
DOES have wings
And it WILL help you
Fly away from things
That have hurt you
When you accept these things
As they are
Shining brightly
You Are The Star
You’ve always been

Find your soul
Find your window
Spread your wings
And let your spirit’s path
Begin

tHE tERRY tREE

Perhaps we never truly met
until I heard your voice of flowers
spill hydrangeas across the carpet
of my bedroom at 3 am.

Those whispers of nothingness
that smell oh so sweetly in the night
begin to wither away as sunrise creeps in
through the window I forgot to close tight.
