My own song

I surrendered to the day

And it showed me I’m whole

That by letting go of fears

I truly nurture my soul

 

I was present and held

Like an innocent child

With the full moon watching over

I could not be beguiled

 

I’ll sleep easy tonight

No longer haunted by the past

There is only this moment

As no dice have been cast

 

Just the sound of my heartbeat

And the wind through the palms

It is no longer about others

As I recognise my own charms

 

There’s no judgement in kind

There’s no right and no wrong

Just the sweet sound of contentment

As I sing my own song

Our purpose is this moment

Appearances suggest, it is closed and is sealed

It’s structure distorted, completely piecemealed

Movement restricted, there’s no room to breathe

The mind is immobile, held tight in a sheath

 

Voices, repetitive, dictate what can be

An absence of others, no lock and no key

Function reduced to a steadfast routine

Buoyant by sugar and shots of caffeine

 

A never-ending circle, is how life is viewed

The measure of success, is how much you’ve accrued

A knowing, a niggle, that this can’t just be it

Awakening to the truth, beyond all the bullshit

 

A moment of seeing the scale of the con

We’ve been treated like puppets for way, way too long

A new earth is upon us, it’s here for us all

It’s for us to embrace, it is time to stand tall

 

Start questioning, start searching to find your own voice

Don’t identify with form; it’s to you to make that choice

Let go of your chatter, it’s a foe, not a friend

Our purpose is this moment, that’s the real godsend

Limiting Beliefs

Did you thank them?

Yes, I thanked them

For having me over for tea

I was polite and well-mannered

Are you now proud of me?

 

Did you ask me?

No, sorry, I didn’t

Have I now let you down?

Tell me, how should I emote?

So I can unfurl your frown

 

What have you done?

I don’t know?

I don’t know how I should grow

If I step outside of your box

How was I meant to know?

 

Mind your manners!

But I had a question

Didn’t mean to overbear

My personality remoulded

Difficult to breathe my own air

 

You’re not wearing that!

Why, because I stand out

In the wrong way?

Who is it, you think

I should be today?

I know I’m everything and more

The shove came from nowhere

Not a person in sight

Propelled into the present

I have reached my full height

 

My knowing, it became thinking

And I filled up my shoes

Recognising my potential

No longer scared, win or lose

 

It’s impossible to plan the future

To be able to map what will be

By looking ahead and not living

You’re surely lacking unity

 

Now I’m guided by the waist

The Universe offering me its hand

I’m reassured by its presence

No longer wanting to withstand

 

I’m not going back to sleep

Buoyed up by possibilities in store

It’s going to be more than alright

I know I’m everything and more

Questioning’s a byword

Questioning’s a byword

For challenging the norm

If you’re not pointing your toes

You’re not showing true form

 

Unbalance causing chaos

Between your heart, mind and soul

Your connection to the moment

Becoming a far, far off goal

 

Get in touch with emotions

Know from deep, deep inside

That you are one with your body

It’s up to you to decide

 

That enough is enough

It is time to be strong

You know just what to do

Do not fear being wrong

 

Summon up the courage

To light up the dark

Go get out your pen

And start making your mark

 

Scribble away freely

Take as long as you need

Fill up with golden light

Until your soul has been freed

Nothing left to scrutinise

What am I doing?

Do I not stand tall?

It is me and only me

Responsible for a fall

 

I trust in my judgement

Grateful for attributes

Washed up emotions

Giving life to my roots

 

Letting go of everything

I stand naked in pride

Wisdom a knowing

I no longer hide

 

I am open to change

To be the best I can be

To fulfil my life’s purpose

Releasing beautifully

 

I bless my body with love

Free it from my mind

Sensuality my bedrock

To my heart I am kind

 

Trusting my inner voice

I am powerful and wise

I move into alignment

Nothing left to scrutinise
