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. 🙂

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!
