A NEW BIRTH
All character is etched,
Upon our very being
By life's beginning,
When we started seeing,
Seeing truth of ourselves,
Seeing truth of all others,
When first light of ourselves
Begins to glow awareness of whom we are.
Retreat we cannot, for who is there
Who starts not blank.
Develops into what?
We grow from our earth,
Though unknown in worth
Until too late in life.
When what we are is
Whom we seem to be.
What seems but destiny,
Doesn't have to be.
Take charge,
Become the one whom you want to be.
Pain is not all that life is meant to be.
Reject, reject, reject early reality
Then accept only as allegory.
For the story that you write
Is the right story meant to be.
Attack, attack, attack the past
Until it has no sway,
For then and only then will home
Be home, not just a place too far away
From which your life to stray.
Release its painful hold,
That painful past to which you have surrendered,
For until released by you, life will be rendered
Sad, not joyous, potentially forever lost,
Love never tendered,
Life's beginning love may never be remembered.
Free, free, free yourself
To love yourself unfettered,
To love yourself for the truth
That to yourself you are!!
