I WAS BORN TO LOVE I rise up every morning singing— Loudly proclaiming this wonderful Love, The sweetness of this life, And the rebirth each new day offers me If I am wise and brave enough To claim and live it. One day I will have to leave This alluringly lovely world behind— When it is my time to go I want to depart with a smile Without any regrets for any Love left unshared or unexpressed Or any service I could have Given that I left undone when I have always known that I was born to love, to serve And help awaken as many as I Can from their dead dreams Of unconscious suffering and pain. I rise up every morning singing, Knowing that even this beautiful Body of mine will surely pass away, That however many days remain Are far less than those past behind— I rise up singing and choose to celebrate The amazing grace that this very day is Another fresh opportunity for me to Learn how to live free from darkness, To live forever in this present moment And shine pure and radiant Love To all and everyone as I was born to do.

MASTER OF DARKNESS Again and again I hurl myself Against the gates Of the dark castle That seems to have me Encased within its walls. Exhausted, I lie down In a puddle of tears, Asking “Who made this Dark and terrible place?” Winds and black clouds Swirl in violent fury overhead— The thick walls rattle With rolling thunder Sparked by lightning— Illuminating my mind Just long enough For me to see The liberating truth— That I am and always Have been the Maker of all my darkness, As well as the Owner of the power Of my own inner light— I am the master Of this impregnable castle That can either be My prison forever or My citadel of the freedom Of awareness, of love and My own shining light.
