Finding Freedom

Clutter blocks

Clogs, shrouds, buries, covers, conceals

Life- Light

Paper, boxes,

Bags, layers of things

Under beds under tables

Inside of things, on top of things

CRAVING

protection.

Clutter: a paper tiger, a mask, a veil.

Never keeps safe

Still vulnerable, exposed, out

On the edge

Emotionally naked

Heart flipped

tender side up.

Suffocated, muffled, stifled.

Shamed humiliated embarrassed

Terrified Traumatized

Shoved against a wall

Must make a pact with Big Love

The love that endures all things, believes all things,

Knows a resilient Truth.

Surrender to Higher Force

Unclench the hand, Let go

Palms open to Source

Energy moves into

Universal alignment.

Finally held warm in the

Safe arms of Life.

Small and mighty

Strong and vulnerable

Swift and silent

Fulfilled and Free.
