You Are Loved 12/5/2023

Tell me why
I feel alone
Tell me why
I feel so blue
Tell me why
I feel unworthy
Of happiness.

Often these questions
Are murmured out loud
When the mysteries
Of life
Taunt our thoughts.

Simple logic
Skews our thinking
When one seeks answers
About our heart.

Understanding the why
Must be accomplished
In a mindful state
At the moment
And in the now.

So close your eyes
Begin deep breathing
And watch
What transpires
Internally.

A shift
Of awareness begins
A lightness is felt
You are being transported
To another state
Of consciousness.

Gradually
Stillness arrives
And a quiet voice is heard
You are loved
My dear one
No matter what you
Think about yourself.

Tears begin to fall
You feel comforted
And loved
With every question
That is thought
The response is
Always
You are loved.
