Passing Storms

Passing storms

fears, doubts and ego

gremlins climbing out of the gutter

crawling up beside me 

to whisper dark things in my ears

all of the hatred within their heart

all of the tainted emotions

sadness turned to envy

fear turned to anger

happiness turned to lust

love turned to possession

the goodness within them

serving only one master 

the ever empty void of feeling 

like they will never be truly loved

they will never feel complete

they will never feel like the can settle into the warm embrace

of another

they will never see themselves as God sees them

they will never feel the wholeness that already exists

The slither around me

tempting me with possible ways out of the whole

manipulate, control, convince,

you will achieve your desire goal

if you sell your soul

to the gremlins

If you sacrifice 

this moment for the next

you will achieve what you desire

if you drink their venom

if let this fear drive you

you will one day be happy

one day 

one day

there slither around my neck, 

the green slime of envy

dripping from my from my shoulders

the anger drilling a whole in my heart

the possession, which really possesses me

and controls my every thought

I close my eyes and wonder

when this storm will pass

I bend with the currents

of the universe

I align with my heart

The clean water of self-love, self-care, and appreciation

the miracle of life calls forth a great river

It washes over me

brings tears to my eyes

and washes away

the distorted perceptions

I see myself as Whole

I see myself as Love

I see myself as One
