Breakthrough

I’ve seen you before
swirling energy, fiery power
just waiting… waiting to unleash
Be still, my Dear One,
be patient, my Love
Healing takes time before the next battle,
before the next step
All Travelers along the way
must take their rest,
their self-care,
their breaks
The dawn is nearly here,
and as the sun warms the eastern hills
and the breeze brings that fresh scent of aliveness,
your strength will return
Soon you will see just how much
you needed recovery,
rejuvenation,
a moment to pause and integrate
Soon you will see
that you’ve missed nothing
that momentum and power grew
deep within
while you waited
Everything
awaits you
and is here
for you
Let yourself
rest in faith
