Universal Soul

Born by Water...

By Christine St.CroixPublished 4 years ago 1 min read
Mirrored Self...

I was born by water. Poured out of the univeral soul in stillness... I raged against the stillness to fight the boundaries that held me on a fast rushing current I called my mind. I was boarded by what made me earth bound. I longed to be free of that elemental facet that I was manufactured out of. Parts of me broke free and rose into the air, a fine and gentle mist rising in the heat of the noon day sun. Floating... feeling a slight evoluation of changed, I gathered with the dark souls of brothers and sisters in like fashion, masquerading as the thunderous voice of God. Lightning split the blackened sky and flashed across the mountain ranges. I fell with a thousand others in a black mass of death; pallbearers, one to another in the midnight hour we raged one against the other upon the dry ground, and gathered again into the spring time falls, as a collective one. I lay still for the first time. No longer having the need to rage. I made peace within my soul. The wind no longer pushing, rushing my mind. I remained still; finally willing to give into what I have become, and in that stillness, as you looked into me, I found me silently starring back in the clear light of a new dawn. I am free. I say, "Let peace rain in the hearts and souls of each and everyone of you, this blessed day. As we embrace who and what we are in the light of each new day, our mirrored self, silently reflecting back to us a loving self embrace." Christine St.Croix 5/16/2016 P. 5/20/2022
