Is it me you see when you look at me
Do you see the way I see you
Do we venture the paths with the thoughts of the now
Or the very string that throws our emotions into the future.
You see when I walk past you, I see you
I see all of you, I feel what you feel
My outer bubble collides with the one surrounding you
So if you are happy or sad, I am too.
What my vision expands too, I absorb
What my ear drums hear, is everything
When the scurry of streets sail by my person
I am completely present, forever on the intake of energy.
I ask that you let go of the pain that blocks your heart
I ask that you forgive the person that makes you angry
I ask you to bless and not be cruel to anyone
I ask you to talk about your true thoughts and feelings.
For when you carry this negativity it branches out
It resents the tree of life and plants seeds of doubt
Through hardship and pain there comes a light,
A knowing, an understanding, a source with a higher plan.
Be good to you so you can be good to all
Love yourself with unconditional love, so you can love all
Be patient for what you see as failures
You were meant to fail, in order to learn.
Take your time on this journey
Take the time to know what is really at play
Take some time to sit, be still, simply be
And let your mind drift to a place of serenity and quiet.
For in the stillness you find the answer
For in the stillness you feel the parallel
Life is too sweet to make bitter with thoughts
That draws like a magnet, a choice for you to decide.
Come on the fairytale and believe in the magic,
The tapestry of life, that binds us all to each other and each other to the one.
Fly with the power of your dreams
Inhale the golden light that illuminates your soul
And warm every cell of your being.
Let go of the hand that holds you to the past
Cross the bridge to bring you to the here and now
Let the fountain of pure God light energy
Dazzle your sight to the surrounding beauty of this life.
For in peace we teach peace, we breathe peace
We are at peace, a unity of the universe
Skip on the stepping stones of your destiny
To bring you to your higher self, a truer self.
Believe you always are exactly where you are meant at all times
There are no coincidences, there are no mistakes
This is your path, the path you chose,
The path that had to teach you.
