Becoming Content with Life (poem)...

And life still goes, strums, moves on.

I am not desperate for a lovers embrace
anymore
and though I look forward to the day that I can
walk into arms that are mine to call
home
I am comfortably resting in the ones that have held me all
along
alone with myself in the darkness
I have learned how to see
the light that shines within
and always has been there
My eyes have adjusted and
that dark shadow that I tried to banish
I hug to myself
just another part of me
That is the sass and the class mixed
all for your pleasure
Or, hmmm maybe not
Music sweeps through my soul
hope and joy is un-harnessed
and runs through my spirit and soul like
children happy and free in a field of flowers
free of pest and pesticides
I am finding it easier to smile
I am finding it easier to love
I am finding it easier to give
I am
soaking up the light that shines brighter than the sun
I am bathed in the love of the one who has always known me
I am free
I am free and that
creates the me that I stand before you today
The God in me
honors and reminds me of the Goddess
That lives there too
HE is a combo of both
Not one
That is impossible.
HE created all, so he knows what and who I am
To HIM I am no mystery
so I embrace that part of my heart, my soul, my spirit
and I am learning to
Not be afraid of love,
or to try
or to give
or to uplift
or to attempt to bring together what someone has tried to rend apart
I stand smiling as lightning whispers and cracks
and I know that I have Him/ Her
I do not worry about my back
walking with favor and boldly with a confident smirk
I look and love and hope and dream and wish and uplift and I am
I am
I am
at one with peace over flowing with joy and accepting of favor.
