OpenYourSoul

"Open Your Soul"

Losing one's way

In the storm of life,

Thru the miazma

Of these dangerous times,

Is like treading thru water

That is fast rising

And the ground opening beneath.

Keeping away from all these things,

To find safety and security,

And by pass all those traumas,

Would be like closing the door

On everything there is

And everybody you love,

But that is no way to live.

You cannot hide away forever,

Never sharing life with another;

Nor can you pretend

Life does not exist,

In order not be be hurt,

Or shamed or debased

In any way whatsoever.

It is true that you must

Share yourself with the world;

Therefore making yourself

Vulnerable to whatever befalls.

But that is life you see,

That mostly brings joy

And a clearity to most things.

Some tribulations will befall;

Those cannot be avoided.

Keeping to yourself

Brings only loneliness,

Sadness and sorrow.

Think of all the wonders you miss,

If you do not let others in.

Sharing your life with others

Is like opening up the clouds,

And stoping the rain of tears

From the eyes of God.

For He will shine upon you,

If you shed your sins and woes,

And He will touch your soul with love

Forever!
