When I look at you
I see love’s truth
Trying to bust out
All over the place
I say let it blow
What’s to lose
Apart from some idea
You have of yourself
Or the world.

FACE YOURSELF
Face yourself
Start where you are
Rip off the protective mask
Meet what scares you
Bear the pain you carry
It won’t kill you
It will hurt like hell
There is an intelligence
That won’t give you
More than you can handle
Trust the journey.

LET ME DROWN
Today I am in love
With grief and sorrow
Don’t try and pull me away
Or cheer me up
There is nothing wrong
Let me drown a while
In this vast ocean
I will die ten thousand times
And feel the wave
Of suffering
And my own helplessness
It will be terrible
And beautiful
And, like all things,
Will pass in its own time
I am not the author of any of this
But I surrender into it.

SWIMMING IN THE DARK
I swim in the underworld
The individual and
Collective unconscious
Seeing where the light is
In the darkness and shadows.

UNCOVER YOUR SELF
You never stopped being your essential self
It just became covered over with layers
Of erroneous beliefs and conditioned ways
Hidden under the weight of trying to be a someone
And now the journey calls you to remove all those layers
And remember the essence.

LIBERATE YOURSELF
There is a part of you
Free of ancestry
Free of conditioning
And cultural definition
That undefined, unknown
Unbound and wildly free part
That’s the part
I want to dance with
Liberate yourself.

THREE VERSES OF HEART
Oh tender heart
That holds so much sorrow
That feels the world
And all its grief
Humble heart that breaks
Again and again
Until it shatters
And falls back into the ocean
Oh sweet heart
Full of joy and wonder
That longs to dance
The song of freedom.

SPEAK YOUR NAME
Speak your name
Into the world
You were gifted a voice
To share your wisdom
To say what must be said
Don’t allow self worth
To stand in the way
Don’t worry about being strong
Or being ready
That day is already here.

ALL THINGS WANT TO COME HOME
Everything denied
Eventually makes itself known
One way or another
All things want the light
The darkness finds a way
To express itself
And the shadow
Follows us because
It wants to come home.

A GLIMPSE BEYOND THE VEIL
If we could just touch
Our unconditional nature
And catch a glimpse
Of eternity’s secrets
For one exquisite moment
We might stop being
So lost in form’s illusion.
