Consciousness

A friend once told me that Abundance comes from within

Always in Love

"Consciousness"

Lying down in this body of darkness

I lay still and listen to my breath

I have created my emptiness

Sometimes I feared it worse than death

I take my heavy body and rise to my feet

Every bit of strength to do so

Using the one to accomplish this feat

Glowing red inside me I now know

There is a light around me, but I can barely see

Something familiar within, I turn around

A presence I need is that which eludes me,

All that I ever lost is soon to be found

My eyes still closed, I can feel the light burn

I ignore the second for it was misleading

Powerful emotion but uncontrolled notion

The diversion guided me to what I needed

Take a deep breath, bring it all in

The strength I need comes in the three

I fill with the energy that helps me begin

My eyes still closed since I am not ready to see

Outside looking in, you can see a man standing

In the darkness a light bursting from his soul

He confronts all that destroys him, his understanding

Hope, Peace, Tranquility, Serenity, all and his goal

It is the fourth that was hard to keep true

The green off balance and unfair to all

He knew not these things that brought him through

It was lessons taught, she didn't let him fall

Hard for her this journey was, unfair and unjust

A contract perhaps, but hard to comprehend

Our tears soon gave way like metal to rust

Often it is hard to start when you first must end

Upright tall, the light shining bright,

Standing strong, confident on the journey

The fifth is awake now, the silence is light

It is openly given and forgiveness is clarity

Enveloped in visions of what should have been

Created fantasy? Perhaps a chance to live

Unrealistic reality, Moved too fast to be seen

Slow down, and stop! Take time to give

Learning what it all is, sometimes to late

Visions of planets the gods and the moon

The sixth tells me I am doing, is this my fate?

Why am I here, am I talking to soon?

Remember the laughter, remember the tears

There are lessons in both and all the emotion

Nothing to do but to move on in years

Wisdom is gained, to apply must be done

It was her that brought me toward it

It was her love and her contract, and first I said no

Not aware of what she was giving

The seventh is what I sought, but did not know

So now I am arriving, alone to my destination

The questions are plenty, do I seek to ask more

It was her that gave the interpretation

Should she show me to the door?

I think her path has been trodden, I am not there

She showed me through seven

Awake and aware now, the tools I possess

I seek to move forward,

I thank you for consciousness
