WEEKLY POEM FOR HUMANITY: JUST ASK

“Must it be in shooting pain

When you call Our name in vain

To pluck you from the deepest well

That you jumped into,

Thinking We wouldn’t tell?

Your secrets,

Although hidden,

Are safe with Us

And you should know

It is safe to trust

The Bountiful,

The Infinite,

The Lover’s pull

So intimate.

Even in that well

We hold a space

Till you release the spell

Of marching pace.

And then follows the silence

In surrender’s stillness.

Must you wait

Until you have an illness?

To trust that We are The Strong

And know that We are never gone.

To be The Strength instead of you,

There is nothing that you must do.

You take a burden

Superfluously

And your mind is churning

So you cannot see

That We are The Carrier of this world,

Of all the rocks and the whirls.

And what is heavy

On your back

Is only due to a lack

Of offering to Us the plea for help

As all your burdens We will melt.

Ask Us to be The Strong

Instead of asking if what you did was wrong.

There is nothing that you need to do,

Just clear your heart, and be true.

Surrender to The Divine.

Our love will pour and you will shine.

You do not need to will, to be a shining light,

It is Us who make you shine so bright

When you ask Us for it to be,

Instead of running, trying to flee

With all that false responsibility.

Questioning how to love yourself –

Is it the self that needs to love

Or is it the heavens from up above

That open the rivers that flow through you

And bring forward all that’s new?

You question, what does it mean, self-love?

And do birds question what is up above

Or do they fly like the doves

Soaring within Our love?

It is not for you to love yourself.

Just ask Us

And all will melt.

It is not for you to be the strong

And to worry about what is wrong.

We are The Strong

And We are The Brave

And We are The Just.

Come out of your cave

And step into the shining sun

Where all your patterns can be undone,

Where you surrender to be the image of Us.

Then life is easy, there is no fuss.

And then you watch and you observe

All the guidance that you heard

Will unfold before your eyes

And the opening of the skies

Where We are One

And your work is done.

Thank you.”
