Stand By Me 2/21/2022

I won’t be fearful
And I won’t be afraid
Your presence is felt
Holding my heart
As you stand my me
In the shadows
Of the night.

Memories of regrets
Surfaced once again
Allowed these emotions
To be with me
As I enter
My healing space
Of meditative breathing.

Fear and anger
Grip you hard
Clinging to everything
You hold
Sacred in life.

Through mindfulness
And meditation
Within a willingness
To be vulnerable
The alchemy of love
Allow changes
To slowly occurs.

Gradual and subtle
Transmutation
Of fear and anger
Flows into joy
And compassion
As the mind and body
Learns to change
From inside out.
