Darling earthling,
Starchild in the flesh,
I’m in awe of your infinite wisdom.
You’re doing this mortality thing beautifully.
Look at you, breathing.
Look at you, heart beating.
Your rhythm is exquisite.
Give in to this benediction:
I’ve come to remind you
Of your light,
Of the greatness that you emanate,
Of the way that your smile wakes blossoms
From their encasements.
I know that the pain can be great.
You forget that you’re human,
Surrounded by humans,
You let things get more complicated
Than they need to be,
You get afraid,
You act out,
You do that thing;
That thing you do.
I’ve come to remind you
Of your unbounded power,
That you are luminous.
If you knew your value
Beyond measure,
You would never shed another tear.
I’ve come to remind you
That you cannot be forgotten,
That the love that surrounds you
Is astounding,
A dancing force field.
Sorrow is a bottomless hunger,
Stop feeding what
Cannot be satiated.
How innovative
Would it be
To step into your greatness
Rather than play with a darkness
That will not be abated?
May you know the way you’re celebrated.
May you feel the passion that all of existence
Pulsates in your direction.
May you be open to receive the gifts that await you,
If only you will believe that they do.
May you be joyous and gentle
With the treasure of your essence.
May you be kind to your own luscious heart.
May you know
Bliss,
Awe,
Discovery,
Abundance,
Charm,
May you know just how lucky,
How lovely,
You truly are.
