'Awakening Joy'
Who would have thought, that
This journey I've been on,
Has been directing me all this time
To a little known place,
A dark little cave,
At the back of my heart.
To discover Joy here,
Unconsciously tucked away.
That part of me
That experiences joy
Wholeheartedly.
That fun exuberant part
Of my soul
That I must have tucked away
For safe keeping,
Out of the cold harsh wind
Of ill tended words.
Out of the need for survival.
As I rediscover her
Brushing away the layers of hurt
That shroud her in thick cobwebs
That have protected her
All this time,
The heart bravely stepping forward
To field her from all, that tried
To keep her down,
keep her small
And keep her with all she's endured
That filled her up,
So that
No room remained to thrive, to grow.
To dance, to sing.
So she lay there, forgotten.
Until now.
I've refound her, reclaimed her.
Inviting her upwards
To awaken, to grow
Through the roof of her cave
to where the light awaits
Her.
