Building The Rainbow

During my exhausted days

Groundhog days

Overwhelmed days

Tear stained days

Dull and unwashed days

I was reminded…

.

To be the flowing river

Not the steadfast rock

To hold my ship steady

Even when my arms were weak

To push through the muddy bog

And walk on warm cushion grass.

.

To cleanse

All that needed cleansing

To release

All that needed releasing

To forgive

All those who needed forgiving.

.

To heal the wounds

And honour the scars

To arrive at the bottom

Of rock bottom

Was an invitation

To climb to the top.

.

The Divine was calling

My spirit back, wanting to fill

My soul with all the

Rays of the rainbow

So that I could release

The woman I used to be.

.

I could start over

From the inside out

Cell by cell

Thought by thought

Breath by breath

One day at a time.

.

Red, orange, yellow

Would set my new foundation

Green and blue

Would re-energise my heart and soul

Indigo and violet

Would connect me to all beyond my ego.

.

I have since left the cocoon

With so much still to learn

But with authentic passion

Flowing through my veins

I am safe and wrapped

In all the colours of the Universe.
