poems of the heart

My Beloved Child

 

My beloved child, break your heart no longer.

 

Each time you judge yourself, you break your own heart;

 

you stop feeding on the love which is the wellspring of your vitality.

 

The time has come. Your time to live, to celebrate.

 

And to see the goodness that you are.

 

Do not fight the dark, just turn on the light.

 

Let go and Breathe in to Goodness that you are.

 

~Swami Kripalu

 

 

Leap of Faith

 

Standing before a fork
in the road
there is not a right answer

or truth cast in stone, there are
choices and plans and desire,

there is the heart of fire and
twist of fate,
there is the unveiling

of who you are and who you
are becoming.

This I have found after
bargaining with my hopes

and my destiny. There is only
a still quiet voice within

that tells me trust what you
know and then surrender,

leap if you must, let your wings
unfurl, let your angels play catch.

We drink dreams from a
sliver of moon.
