I’m afraid of my own emptiness. I fear the pain that lies deep inside.
But this emptiness will save me in the end.
No love will be lost. I’ll find my own way home.
Xo
Remanants of those moments, still cling on to me sometimes.
Holding on, in my dreams.
It makes me think of the emptiness, all over again.
The way love just stripped itself bare, right infront of me.
Leaving me with just my shadow.
I was forced to reach inside, inside the emptiness.
It was all taken away from me, my life suspended in time.
Now I have learnt how to fight my battles. I have learnt how to use my sword. I learnt that all I had to do was raise my sword high in the sky, and call out surrender.

I was too burdened, too overwhelmed, too shocked to realise my name had already been called out 36 years ago.
I was too stuck, the pain had covered me and was then set hard by the blazing sun.
Their was nowhere else to go, so I stayed in the shadows.
Xo
My soul entwined by the light,
making me see those miracles everywhere.
The truth inside me,
where it has always been.
Sometimes though it’s hard to hear my heart. Maybe it’s because of the past pain trickling down like rain. All the stormy seas, I prefer the gentle breeze.
It is a process this learning how to turn down the chatter of our mind.
It fools us you know,
makes us believe things, we think we want to believe.
It’s our fears that get in the way, sometimes it makes us too afraid to take the risk that will set us free.
Xo
My voice become lost in translation, somewhere along the way.
But somehow the message came through.
Now I can finally hear my song again.
and this time I am not afraid.
I feel life’s gentle hand touching me across my shoulder.
I can smell all of life’s wonders.
The sky has become clear,
clear enough to count every star.
I smell life in the wind, in its breeze and it brings me home again.
