New Earth Wisdom

I realized I had become so lost, as I reminisced about when things were much clearer.

I held onto the puppy dog that made my heart feel dearer.

And suddenly, I heard a voice that came into my heart…

It spoke of old agreements and how we’ve never been apart.

It wondered why we still agreed to many, many things

When reasoning and understanding were something different we could bring.

She said she was ready to let go of burden and all pain

She said the voice she once used was reminiscent of the rain

It falls everywhere because it is a pattern in the sky

“But we can change our patterns”, said the little voice and I.

“I once believed that procrastination kept me safe so I’d stay small.

Now I believe that I am who my heart says when I fall.

I choose to be the whole of me no matter what the cost

So that all that I have to bring will never be so lost”

As she continued on I felt a great big shift inside

It was her words and conviction that my heart did abide.

“We must let go of holding onto things that pass their time.

We value ourselves enough to know when something isn’t in line.

When it’s hard to make a change, we address our needs right away

We do not wait for things to worsen or wait for another day”.

As she spoke my heart did poke a nerve that made me feel

Of what I needed to let go of so that I could finally heal.

“When we make our choices we must always be aware

That everything around us finds it’s peace with all our care.

So we must let go of what cannot finds it’s peace at all.

For if we hold onto things that we can’t help then we may fall.

Lastly always remember there comes a better day

When we change our voices and we choose to see the way

Of play, of “yay”, no days of grey

Inside our hearts any more

So that when we should fall asleep

We are reborn every morning.

Let’s not commit to what feels good

Without thinking it through

In fact, just take things very slow

And you’ll always know what to do”.

I listened to the voice as it began to fade away.

And then I chose to take a new and different path in me today.
