When Freedom Rings
First, there was the Sound
that odd and then magnificent sound
the creaking door
edging its way
to a new position.
Then, there was the Light
blinding at first
from its newness
to the eyes of your heart
and then it became
so comforting
as it soothed
the eons
of despair
that had been its
ineffective replacement
or better said
its poor substitute.
This Light then found its way
down into the depths
of the dungeon
that you kept yourself in
where you had huddled in
and upon the beliefs,
the fears,
and the challenges
that broke your spirit
and hurt your soul
but this was your food.
Now as that thick door
finds its way to a new stance in your life
you come to know
that Grace
welcomes you
to your joy,
to your divine pleasure,
and to your calling to live
this moment
as your center.
And to give it freely
to those you love
and those that you have yet to love.
Celebration bells are ringing
as you come home to yourself
and to the Other
that is all around you.
You are free.
