Fear

Dive into the joyful waters,

See the sun shine above its surface,

Let the rays permeate through the water,

Let its warmth, fire and action envelope you as you dive deeper,

Deeper, into the water’s darkness,

Meet the fear, the worry, the guilt face to face,

As the warm comfort of the sun’s cloak holds you,

Reminds you that it is with you,

You can feel it, it’s always there,

Just above the surface,

Thank the fear, the worry, the guilt for trying to protect you,

Let them know when you need them again,

You will dive down into the darkness to retrieve them,

Joyfully kick your way toward the light again,

Feel the light holding you while emanating from inside,

Your heart sings its song,

Your unique song of desire, action, adventure, courage and love,

The light reminds you of who you really are,

As you kick toward the water’s surface,

Kick, kick, kick,

You are just an arm’s length away from breaking through,

To feel your true self again,

It was always there,

Your heart’s aria calls to the rest of the world,

As you break through the cleansing water,

and remember.
