If I am not my emotions
I am not then even my fears
Those are just illusions of rusty padlocks
Trapping my soul deep within here.
Staring at the pinnacle
Never realized the height
Of all those added steps
The human me, gasped in fright
That seems insurmountable
So impossible to reach
What more does my soul need to learn
What more do I teach
It’s cyclical this journey
Wrought with both pain and joy
Embracing all nuances of our soul
Is the only way not to stay fallen
Loving all that is
Both the darkness and the light
Allows us to be spectators of emotions
And not enslaved to the night
We are created
A beautiful balance
Twas not an accident
Certainly not happenstance
A recipe of the greatest love
Free to make our choices
Free to choose the pain
When we realize it’s all our doing
We can START AGAIN!
Shanti Shaharazade 2013
