My body has been bruised, misused, and neglected.
My body has been shared, caressed, and served me well.
My body ages with time, scarred and often aches.
My heart has been broken and my words twisted.
My feelings have been stomped and thoughts betrayed.
My heart has trusted, loved and been loved in return.
My time has been wasted, stolen and slips away.
My energy has been drained, misdirected and misguided.
My time has been enjoyed and my energy shared, creative and healing.
I can share my body, heart and mind, and even my time.
But my power is my own, if I give it away then all is lost.
By reclaiming my power, my soul is whole.
My soul empowered life unfolds as it should.
Meaning and balance can be found within the chaos.
My body, heart and mind are renewed, and can be joyfully shared.
So mote it be.
I woke up with this poem in my head this morning. Inspired, I’m sure, by my up coming vacation later this week to Womon Gathering. I’ll be posting more about the vacation later in the week.
Bright blessings one and all, Lady Rose

Great poem, Lady Rose! That’s what you have to do — forgive yourself for falling off the path, get back on the path and reach your goal! You can do it!
