That Higher Love 6/1/2022

Reaching deep
Within my core
Where stillness and quiet
Patiently wait
To enter.

As the doors
To the soul open
Like a flower petal
Reaching towards
The sunlight
In the morning sky.

Connect me to
That higher love
As my fears of life
Melt away
Swiftly.

Replenish me
With God’s love
To heal the pain
From my past.

Little by little
Each crack in my heart
Is kissed with kindness
From another
Seeking the same.

Compassion of others
And of self
Are the keys
That opens the door
To acceptance of life.

How I yearn
To bask in this brilliance
Daily
For this higher love
Is something needed
To make my heart sing
Loudly.

Remembering
The highs and lows
Are needed
To experience
The lessons
For the higher self
To grow in love.
