Remaining Open

Even in the darkness of fear

remain open

trust that the light of day will 

once again shine on your soul

when someone offends you 

try not to close yourself off

from the lesson

don't let your ego 

convince you that 

its better to be in isolation

stay soft, vulnerable 

allow the pain to hurt 

face your fears 

and when you do 

they will pass 

and the warmth of your open heart

will melt away the pain

surrender

racing to create

impatient can't wait

don't want to lose a minute

trying hard to not sweat it

but the clock is ticking

and nothing is sticking

what is it all about?

want to scream and shout

feeling kind of scared

all the things we've shared

looking for the meaning

and all the love comes streaming

my heart is open

willing to go deeper than i've ever been

feeling kind of nauseous

afraid of the raucous

that is stirring within

burning to begin

a new path

without the wrath

full of spiritual fulfillment

love , peace and enjoyment
