The last time I saw you
I kissed you goodbye
and I said to myself
I wonder why.
I wonder I do
If you feel this too
If you ever wished
you would freely speak
and shine from your heart
to the love that you seek
to the love that you miss
to the touch
to the kiss
to wherever it went
wherever it is,
to the shadows behind
to the shame within
to the place to start
the place to begin.
Will we ever heal
will we come to the truth
will we heal the pain
we felt since our youth
will we come to expand
will be our true selves
will we heal from our hearts
are we free to express
shall we begin to release
will our futures be blessed.
But truly I reckon
the answers are here
and we need to go seeking
to search and be clear,
to love in the shadows
to look in our past
to be who we are
so freely at last.
Can we be any other
of course we cannot,
we are who we are
we live in that slot!
But what I am saying
and what I now know
is here on the inside
the shadows and pains
are blocking the sunshine
and the life-giving rains.
You see we are here
to be who we are
and being ourselves
is a challenge by far.
Just sitting quietly
will help I am sure
but listening within
to our well-stream
helps more.
So to be who you are
in the one hundred percent
takes courage and time
and the will to repent,
to believe who you are
to shine inside out
and turn your new life
around-about.
Go within and go deep
and imagine your sleep
the eve of this lifetime
the dying of you
and where you wish
for different days
and ways to release
and ways to replay.
Now when I think of this
and I think of then
I will say to myself
I remember when
there were times in my relationships
where I wish I’d been silent
more patient for sure
I wish I knew kindness
calmness and more,
as there in those times
in the troubles I lived
I wish I was balanced
and stronger within
more willingly wishing
to really forgive.
So what I am saying
which would heal to begin
is the true surrender
of all pain within.
Just start the new life
when you are still living this
start living again
do not wait ‘til you die
gently release,
let everything flow
be ready for Love
and a new day to show.
You can be a candle
a light in the room
you can be a light-globe
a flash for the best
you can live your real life
from the best place you are
and light will beam through
like a shining star.
So live, just live
live long and forgive
live life to the best
love yourself and express
love to all you love
let them know from your heart
they belong by your side
to enjoy and believe
Love is the answer
to let go and not grieve.
What is past has gone
and now that you know
live together as one
this lifetime will show
whatever we heal
as we live through this life
will help the future
shine truly bright.
