Close your eyes, my love,

And allow the tears to come.

Sometimes they just need a chance to escape. 

Or maybe just an exhale is needed,

So everything you’ve been holding can reshape. 

PAUSE…

Sometime you don’t even know how you got here,

Under these dark, dreary skies.

But you looked up one day and noticed,

That the light was gone from your eyes.

PAUSE…

It’s okay, sweet one.

We all find ourselves here at times. 

We all have felt the weight pull us down.

It’s okay, this season will pass,

Your light will return,

I promise, you won’t drown. 

Bring your attention here,

To the movement of your breath.

Detach from those thoughts,

And feel your body’s depth.

LONG PAUSE…

The tighter you hold onto,

The emotions and the thoughts,

The heavier they get,

The more you feel like you’re lost. 

PAUSE…

So imagine that your breath takes you,

To the safe space of love in your heart.

This space that darkness can’t touch,

This beautiful, sacred part.

LONG PAUSE…

Feel the warmth in your chest,

The gentle hum of your light.

Let it remind you of who you are,

Let it comfort you tonight. 

PAUSE…

I know the thoughts are scary,

And the emotions keep swirling around.

I know they dance with each other,

And quickly compound.

PAUSE…

But if you just practice,

Separating yourself from their dance.

You’ll see that you don’t have to,

Succumb to their heavy trance.

PAUSE…

These feelings, these worries, 

And the heaviness that they bring.

They’re all temporary,

And soon won’t mean a thing.

PAUSE…

The best thing you can do,

The strategy that always works best.

Is to connect with your deep self,

And remember how you’re blessed.

LONG PAUSE…

So bring your attention here,

To the movement of your breath.

Detach from those thoughts,

And feel your body’s depth.

PAUSE…

You are not your circumstances,

You are not your thoughts.

You are love embodied,

One with the divine, magical source.

Sweet Dreams, Beautiful
