Watch as you stomp out the flames of a smoldering fire,
this is not the end, but a fresh beginning, time for a new
blaze to rise up that is more authentically yourself;
the world is changing and we are its agents of change,
let the waves that carry doubts and fears of your
insignificance move you onto that bright shore
of possibility;

It is there you are greeted by your tribe, those like-
minded and clear hearted ones who, like you, are crawling
out of the froth as if newly born, shaking the detritus
loose to be transformed into not another organism
but themselves, the souls that have patiently awaited
this reunion for your entire lives, longing to express
fully while you still breathe;

The debris was never you, never real, yet it has
polluted the ocean of humanity long enough
while you tried aspects of it on like changing outfits,
bits of this, some of that, something infused
in your young mind that pointed up insufficiencies,
and your family and friends are likewise
being presented with the offer to awaken,
though this call is for you alone, for as you have
learned by now no one can change another,
agreements made long before donning
this extraordinary human mantle may
or may not maintain the forms you expect,
hold space for delightful surprises;

Wake up my love, embrace eternity and bring it
with you down to earth, this sentient organism
that has waited eons and beyond for you to join
in the dance; fear not the inner turbulence that need
no longer be tagged to past experience, this is
a new dawn, a new day, one you have never known
before as your very cells open up to reconfigure now
to the frequency of unconditional universal love;

Be gentle with yourselves, for what you are feeling
is an emerging bliss like you have never experienced
except in eye-blinks of time throughout your sojourn
here, do not fear it because it is different, it is
peace knocking at your door. Simply welcome it In.
