Bloom

as I take root on this plane

may I receive the healing light of

all that is divine

may heaven meet earth

through me to transmute

the crusted fear that traps me

in brambles

may I grow my destiny

without ego mind

may I fully trust the divine order

that teaches only love

may I grow in love

may I be love

may the divine light

unfurl my blossoming heart

in this splendid garden

the Gardener knows the art and seasons

how to plant

how to nourish

how to harvest

I am but one glorious bloom

with no skills in tending the soil

my place in this garden is small

my view is limited to

my small leaves

reaching for the sun

yet I trust in the Gardener and Gaia

to bloom my bouquet

to bloom my love

    very soothing words Barbara and love the red buds straining to release against the frosted pane – Martha the colours are like a hushed beauty waiting to bloom.

    Love all the connectedness and the humility, too. We simply need to let go and let God. 🙂

    Nice theme as well as post !! love it but i won’t able to find follow option !!

      Thank you so much! That’s odd about the follow button. Is it in the lower right side? Not sure. I don’t think I’ve omitted it since others follow every day. Sometimes, I find they disappear and then reappear. It’s frustrating. Hope it works next time! Again thank you!
