The gift...

I have set by your door
a lantern and a staff
to bear your weight on the
journey to yourself
i have laid a bright colored
wrap for the cold
and a gift for you to open
if you find that you are
in need of something other
my friend
then call inward and see
the light that shines
as clarity
this will open the way
and warm your days
and nights

so if you are to
begin
then pick up the staff
that has within it
the teachings that guide
and the strong substance
of wisdom that is to
hold you sturdy

if you fall for a time
do not give up
this momentary glitch
will only strengthen your will
if you rise in gratitude
determined to continue
holding the goal of
freedom near...

the lantern is the glow
of the heart that will be
inside to show up what
is true (unchanging)
and what is false (transient)
it will be the light of
wisdom that is inherent
in the soul of your being

the wrap will
hold you
internal so mind does not
go outward
and is to be your
mat to sleep on
or a prop for your
head when you rest under
the stars...

the gift is what lies waiting
when all the covers fall
and the shadows dance no more
and there is a joke in there too
that will make you laugh
and laugh
it is the best of all....

so my friend,
you are now well equipped
for your walk into the unknown
which will bring you to
the open light
that has alway been
and is the beauty
of your soul...

may you go well
in love and joy

great peace
