You are always with me
Even though I have separated from you
Even when I feel alone and unloved.
You are always with me
You never forsake me even though
I have forsaken you,
Your love is the gentle breeze
That ruffles leaves on trees.
It is the glue that holds mountains in place
And keeps Earth on its axis.
And even though I have forgotten
All my highest aspirations.
Your love is in the warm darkness of caves,
And the light of dragonfly wings.
No matter where I hide and what I do
You never forsake me.
Your voice is in the sound
Of every inbreath and outbreath I take.
The Earth my mother caresses my feet,
And holds my head pointed
Straight to you in the heavens.
The sun shines even behind clouds,
And the moon casts a heavenly light
Over Earth as I sleep.
Like the catterpillar I gratify only my earthly needs
And forget my highest aspirations.
I even forget that within me
Lies the promise of the beautiful butterfly I am.
It is only when I begin to love the catterpillar within
Will I soar to my highest potential

You are always with me
Even though I have separated from you
Even when I feel alone and unloved.
You are always with me
You never forsake me even though
I have forsaken you,
Your love is the gentle breeze
That ruffles leaves on trees.
It is the glue that holds mountains in place
And keeps Earth on its axis.
And even though I have forgotten
All my highest aspirations.
Your love is in the warm darkness of caves,
And the light of dragonfly wings.
No matter where I hide and what I do
You never forsake me.
Your voice is in the sound
Of every inbreath and outbreath I take.
The Earth my mother caresses my feet,
And holds my head pointed
Straight to you in the heavens.
The sun shines even behind clouds,
And the moon casts a heavenly light
Over Earth as I sleep.
Like the catterpillar I gratify only my earthly needs
And forget my highest aspirations.
I even forget that within me
Lies the promise of the beautiful butterfly I am.
It is only when I begin to love the catterpillar within
Will I soar to my highest potential
