The Message

form with no spirit is shadow
an illusion of the authentic
motivated by desire
to appease guilt
an act done only for oneself
with the pretense it's done for another
the effect of, which is
so another carries
the burden instead
be free of guilt in truth
turn around, make amends
walk the purifying fire
no longer be enslaved
The Message all along
then, and only then
is life felt more
abundantly yours.

Celebrate, Oh Daughter!

Oh brave One!
You walked the fire
let Truth spring from your lips
set another free
of a burden
he thought was his
Now you find
your fear was unfounded
no longer do you need
to hide
he remains by you
with the forgiving spirit
of love in his heart
Life is yours again
