Learning To Ride Again 3/20/201

Fear and anxiety
Can be your friends
When awareness of self
Mends
Its shadows
Releasing the grip
Around the heart.

Plant emotional roots deep
Embrace Mother Earth
Allow security and love
To flow upwards
With intention
And courage.

Slowly fear and anxiety
Will dissipate and disburse
Learning to ride again
Without pain
Using
Inner strength
Instead.

Tis’ be true
All emotions
When understood
Offer lessons to be learned
As painful moments in life.

Difficult indeed
Looking deeply
Within
Often as hesitation
But know
Its always best
For your higher self.
