In the darkness you stand
Shackled by things of old
Beliefs that once protected and now have become a burden
Disconnecting you from what’s authentically you
Your soul screams
Fears, frustration, anger, hopelessness, desperation, exasperation
How long must this go on?
Whose cruel idea was this?
Your journey of inward solitude deepens
A battle you must face — Alone
A sacred fire slowly burns as you’re surrounded by embers creeping in
A sacrifice must be made
Your soul or the lies you’ve been told
And those you’ve told yourself in order to survive
Creating a fortress around your heart
Covering your radiant Light
Kissed by flames of renewal
Open your mind’s eye
Bare your heart and soul
What do you see?
What will you choose?
What will you give up?
What will you hold onto?
Let the fire slowly embrace you from within
Seeping deep into your Core
Hunting down antiquated beliefs
In its path, exposing what endures
When all that is untrue burns away
Your Core essence remains
Standing bare
Forged in eternal flames of the blessed Phoenix
Stronger than ever
What is this power?
Let the flames of rebirth transform you
I will be there waiting
Show me who and what you truly are meant to be
Shedding all of that antiquated armor
Emerging from your chrysalis
A radiant Light cleansed and renewed
Shines through and disintegrates your once needed fortress
Awakened from your deep slumber
It’s time to rise again
A blank slate
You’re free to create
Behold yourself with wonder
And be open to discover
Who you were always meant to become
Welcome home
