Breaking Out

I’m breaking out --

Taking You at your word.

You asked, 

“Why do you sit

In this prison cell,

When I’ve unlocked the door

And cut your bonds?

In an instant I awoke

Spied the bars

Felt the shackles chafe

Against my wrists

And knew for the first time

The lies that had kept me prisoner.

The Light proved all

To be illusions, imposters,

Cruelly promising a full heart

But bringing only joyless sorrow--

When I had felt hopeless 

Because I could not have

What I wanted.

When I had felt useless

Because I could not accomplish

What I wanted.

When I had felt powerless

Because I could not control 

What I wanted.

Now the door

Indeed stands ajar,

And the chains lay lifeless

On the floor, no longer attached

To me.

All I have to do 

Is move.

But my feet are so heavy,

It is too hard!

Suddenly a hand 

Appears before my face

And I grab hold.

Joyful energy courses

Through my veins

Giving my feet 

Courage to move.

Here I come!

Into your Love, your Light!!!
